| 1464 | 1 .TH PROSODYCTL 1 "2009-07-02" |
| 2 | |
| 3 .SH NAME | |
| 4 prosodyctl \- Manage a Prosody XMPP server | |
| 5 | |
| 6 .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 7 \fBprosodyctl\fP \fIcommand\fP [\fI--help\fP] | |
| 8 | |
| 9 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 10 \fBprosodyctl\fP is the control tool for the Prosody XMPP server. It may be | |
| 11 used to control the server daemon and manage users. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 \fBprosodyctl\fP needs to be executed with sufficient privileges to perform | |
| 14 its commands. This typically means executing \fBprosodyctl\fP as the root user. | |
| 15 If a user named "prosody" is found then \fBprosodyctl\fP will change to that | |
| 16 user before executing its commands. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 .SH COMMANDS | |
| 19 .SS User Management | |
| 20 In the following commands users are identified by a Jabber ID, \fIjid\fP, of the | |
| 21 usual form: user@domain. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 .IP "\fBadduser\fP \fIjid\fP" | |
| 24 Adds a user with Jabber ID, \fIjid\fP, to the server. You will be | |
| 25 prompted to enter the user's password. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 .IP "\fBpasswd\fP \fIjid\fP" | |
| 28 Changes the password of an existing user with Jabber ID, \fIjid\fP. You will be | |
| 29 prompted to enter the user's new password. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 .IP "\fBdeluser\fP \fIjid\fP" | |
| 32 Deletes an existing user with Jabber ID, \fIjid\fP, from the server. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 .SS Daemon Management | |
| 35 Although \fBprosodyctl\fP has commands to manage the \fBprosody\fP daemon it is | |
| 36 recommended that you utilize your distributions daemon management features if | |
| 37 you attained Prosody through a package. | |
| 38 | |
| 39 To perform daemon control commands \fBprosodyctl\fP needs a \fIpidfile\fP value | |
| 40 specified in \fI/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua\fP. Failure to do so will cause | |
| 41 \fBprosodyctl\fP to complain. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 .IP \fBstart\fP | |
| 44 Starts the \fBprosody\fP server daemon. If run as root \fBprosodyctl\fP will | |
| 45 attempt to change to a user named "prosody" before executing. This operation | |
| 46 will block for up to five seconds to wait for the server to execute. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 .IP \fBstop\fP | |
| 49 Stops the \fBprosody\fP server daemon. This operation will block for up to five | |
| 50 seconds to wait for the server to stop executing. | |

| 59 .SS Ejabberd Compatibility | |
| 60 \fBejabberd\fP is another XMPP server which provides a comparable control tool, | |
| 61 \fBejabberdctl\fP, to control its server's operations. \fBprosodyctl\fP | |
| 62 implements some commands which are compatible with \fBejabberdctl\fP. For | |
| 63 details of how these commands work you should see | |
| 64 .BR ejabberdctl (8). | |

| 75 The main \fBprosody\fP configuration file. \fBprosodyctl\fP reads this to | |
| 76 determine the process ID file of the \fBprosody\fP server daemon and to | |
| 77 determine if a host has been configured. | |
