imsinit

imsinit is the utility that initializes the message store file system.

The top-level directories are specified in the /etc/opt/SUNWmail/ims/ims.cnf file. If a default SIMS installation has been performed, these directories are:

/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/index
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/hash
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/data
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/adm
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/shared
/var/opt/SUNWmail/ims/user

The preceding directories must also be owned by the message store owner as specified in the ims.cnf file. If a default SIMS installation has been performed, the owner should be set to inetmail.

If the top-level directories are not present imsinit will create them.

Upon successful completion, the message store filesystem is initialized.


Syntax

 
imsinit [-l config_file_location]
 

The option for this command is:

-l config_file_location  

Location of Message Access Services configuration file (ims.cnf). If the -l option is not specified, the default location (/etc/opt/SUNWmail/ims/) will be used.
