.TH PKSDCTL 8 "17 November 1996"

.SH NAME

pksdctl \- Public Key Server Control program

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B pksdctl
socket string

.SH DESCRIPTION
pksdctl sends strings to a running pksd via a UNIX domain socket.  The
strings (which must be a single argument in the shell) are interpreted
by the running pksd process as commands.  Three string forms are supported:

.TP 15
.B backup
The
.B backup
command from previous versions is no longer supported.  The procedures
referred to in
.B pks-intro(8)
should be followed to make a backup.

.TP 15
.B disable userid
All keys matching the
.B userid
will have the disabled flag set.

.TP 15
.B mail msg
The file
.B msg
will be parsed as a mail server request.  If the file is a valid
request, the request succeeds, and the response can be enqueued, then
the file is removed.

.TP 15
.B shutdown
The key server shuts down cleanly and exits.
