POSTSUPER(1)                                         POSTSUPER(1)


NAME
       postsuper - Postfix super intendent

SYNOPSIS
       postsuper [-p] [-s] [-v] [directory ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  postsuper  command does small maintenance jobs on the
       named Postfix queue directories (default: all).  Directory
       names  are  relative to the Postfix top-level queue direc-
       tory.

       By default, postsuper performs  the  operations  requested
       with the -s and -p command-line options.  postsuper always
       tries to remove objects that are neither files nor  direc-
       tories.   Use  of this command is restricted to the super-
       user.

       Options:

       -s     Structure check.  Move queue files that are in  the
              wrong place in the file system hierarchy and remove
              subdirectories that  are  no  longer  needed.  File
              rearrangements  are necessary after a change in the
              hash_queue_names and/or hash_queue_depth configura-
              tion  parameters.  It  is highly recommended to run
              this check once before Postfix startup.

       -p     Purge stale files (files that are left  over  after
              system or software crashes).

       -v     Enable  verbose mode for debugging purposes. Multi-
              ple -v options make the software increasingly  ver-
              bose.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Problems  are reported to the standard error stream and to
       syslogd.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax  details  and  for
       default values.

       hash_queue_names
              The  names of queues that are organized into multi-
              ple levels of subdirectories.
