💖 CALALARMD(8) — the Cyrus IMAP fam 💖

okay bestie, so this is the calalarmd page from the Cyrus IMAP manual, section 8, and it's literally the daemon that sends out calendar alarms. yes. that's the whole job. she's a specialist 💅

✨ NAME ✨

calalarmd — Cyrus IMAP documentation

Daemon for sending calendar alarms 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

calalarmd [ -C config-file ]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional flag. she's low maintenance fr fr 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ngl this man page is a stub. that's not me being shady, that's genuinely what the original says — it is a stub, periodt. 💀

Here's the tea though: calalarmd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file, unless you tell it otherwise with -C. that's the whole rule. iykyk 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -C config-file — use the config file you specify here, config-file, instead of the default imapd.conf(5). main character energy: you pick the file, you pick the destiny ✨
  • -d — debug mode, and bestie listen: it doesn't fork. so it just stays right there in your terminal, staring at you, which is honestly kind of iconic for debugging 🙈
  • -t time — run a single scan as of time. one and done, no looping, no drama 🕐
  • -U — upgrade 🧚

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

calalarmd is commonly included in the DAEMON section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:

DAEMON {
    calalarmd                       cmd="/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/calalarmd"
}

look at her, sitting pretty in the DAEMON block, exactly where she belongs 👑

✨ FILES ✨

  • /etc/imapd.conf — the default config file she reads, the blueprint, the whole personality 💜

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

go read those too, bestie, they're all part of the same friend group 🌸
