💖 CERTMONGER(1) — getcert stop-tracking 💖

okay bestie, so this is the certmonger(1) manual page, and today's episode is all about the getcert stop-tracking command. it's giving "we're breaking up with this certificate" energy. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

getcert — the command itself, she's the main character 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

getcert stop-tracking [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this tells certmonger to stop monitoring, or stop trying to obtain or refresh a certificate. like, we're done here. certmonger is officially unsubscribing. it's not gonna keep checking on that cert, it's not gonna keep trying to get it, it's not gonna keep refreshing it. she's free. 💅

✨ TRACKING OPTIONS ✨

• -i NAME, --id=NAME — the certificate you're talking about was tracked using the request with this specified nickname. iykyk

and like, if you don't pass this option? then some combination of -d and -n or -f can be used to specify which certificate should henceforth be forgotten. spooky word but okay. 💀

✨ KEY AND CERTIFICATE STORAGE OPTIONS ✨

• -d DIR, --dbdir=DIR — the certificate is the one stored in the specified NSS database. that's the one. 🎀
• -n NAME, --nickname=NAME — the certificate is the one which has this nickname. ⚠️ only valid with -d, bestie, don't try it solo.
• -t TOKEN, --token=TOKEN — if the NSS database has more than one token available, the certificate is stored in this token. ngl, this argument only rarely needs to be specified. it's a special occasion option. 🧚 only valid with -d.
• -f FILE, --certfile=FILE — the certificate is (or was) to be stored in this file. past tense included, we're not judging. 🌸
• -k FILE, --keyfile=FILE — the private key is or was to be stored in this file. 🔐 only valid with -f.

✨ OTHER OPTIONS ✨

• -v, --verbose — be verbose about errors. like, spill the tea, tell me everything. normally, the details of an error received from the daemon will be suppressed if the client can make a diagnostic suggestion. so without -v you're getting the vibe check version, not the full story. 🙈

✨ BUS OPTIONS ✨

• -s, --session — connect to certmonger on the session bus rather than the system bus. different bus, different vibe. 🌈
• -S, --system — connect to certmonger on the system bus rather than the session bus. this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. 👑
