I can't yet use -p, the version I have is not supporting it still :( Maybe it is better to wait until alpine linux updates the package.

No worries. Now you are not using the passthrough(-p) mode. That is why dovecot is telling you that your client is not compatible.
Using "script" without -p would require you to implement that protocol: http://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/health_check.html#script-protocol.
I believe all you want to do is to keep this line
executable = script -p health-check.sh
and just replace health-check.sh with the script that you implemented.

The -e parameter is used to define a "list of environment variables", so the error message telling you that you did not define a script is right.
So far i understood that you wanted to use passthrough mode, so do not
use -e but -p. (except you need to define some environment-variables for your script).
Executing the script executable standalone does not work it must be started from the dovecot master process, that is why you are getting the Panic.

Thanks, Markus, maybe we should add this to the admin_manual? However I am now getting the error 'script: Fatal: Missing script path'
Similar as when I try via the command line bash-5.0# /usr/libexec/dovecot/script -e /bin/health-check.sh Fatal: Missing script path
bash-5.0# /usr/libexec/dovecot/script -e /bin/ health-check.sh Panic: BUG: No IOs or timeouts set. Not waiting for infinity. Aborted (core dumped)

Hi,
you can use telnet or netcat to send input to that port and receive the answer.
echo "PING" | nc localhost 5001
Best regards

How do I check the standard script then on this port 5001 from the
command line?
This one of alpine linux also does not have it yet bash-5.0# dovecot
--version 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b)

Yes. The passthrough option is rather new.

I think I already have that, I am having this configured
service health-check { # this is the default configuration using the simple PING->PONG

bash-5.0# /bin/health-check.sh HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: keep-alive
OK

Your health check script should implement HTTP protocol. Then you can use passthrough mode and use cURL.
The provided script does not speak HTTP.

I am not understanding how this health check[1] script should work.
From the commandline it works fine when I type a PING I get a PONG. But how do I do a curl to this 5001 port?
Tried something like this:
bash-5.0# curl http://localhost:5001/ curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
bash-5.0# curl http://localhost:5001/PING curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
