Re: [Dovecot] Fastest restart of dovecot after upgrade: HOW?:

• Timo Sirainen tss@iki.fi:

If you set shutdown_clients=yes. Although even with =no it should stop listening.

shutdown_clients=yes is the default? I think it is :)

I guess there can be bugs.. But in general the processes should notice immediately that master died, and immediately close their listeners and optionally shut down.

In some cases that didn't happen with the imap processes. Anyway. I'll just try it now.
