Its a UNIX Socket , not a TCP socket.
So, it's be a local unix socket, like postgres do.
Ah, in that case it looks like the docs need to be updated because the man pages and the wiki contain documentation that indicates TCP sockets should work: (from man doveadm-quota)
-S socket_path
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname
and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.2010/12/21 David Warden warden@geneseo.edu I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just compiled 2.0.8 and am trying to use doveadm to get the quota for a user using the -S
option because I have different options for the various local IPs that dovecot listens on. For example, my default quota is filesystem (NFS rquota) and I can get that by doing:
doveadm quota get -u warden
which tells me:
Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1313476 1766400 74
But when I try to get my quota on a different local IP using the -S flag to doveadm:
doveadm quota get -u warden -S 137.238.2.244:143
I am told:
get: invalid option -- S
The strange thing is doveadm's usage says that the -S option is valid for quite a few commands and in the man pages for those commands it looks like they should work for the way I'm calling doveadm. In the 2.0.8 source I also see code that looks like it should be parsing the -S flag.
I can telnet to 127.0.0.1:143 and do ". getquotaroot inbox" which gives me the same information as "doveadm quota get -u warden" and I can telnet to 137.238.2.244:143 and ". getquotaroot inbox" also tells me my quota, but I'm hoping to use doveadm to periodically recalc my Maildir++ quota and update the squat FTS indexes and for that to happen doveadm needs to be able to be told what local IP address/port to connect to (I think).
