It might be compatible with other service monitoring packages. It is also useful as a command line utility or as a component of a custom shell script. .SH OPTIONS .IX Header "OPTIONS" Options of the long form can be shortened as long as the remain unambiguous (i.e. \fB\-\-host\fR can be used instead of \fB\-\-hostname\fR). .IP "\fB\-c\fR \fIsecs\fR, \fB\-\-critical\fR=\fIsecs\fR" 4 .IX Item "-c secs, --critical=secs" Critical ping response threshold in seconds. If a spamd ping response takes longer than the value specified (in seconds) the program will exit with a value of 2 to indicate the critical status. .Sp This value must be at least as long as the value specified for \fBwarning\fR and less than the value specified for \fBtimeout\fR. .IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-?\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4 .IX Item "-h, -?, --help" Prints this usage message and exits. .IP "\fB\-H\fR \fIhostname\fR, \fB\-\-hostname\fR=\fIhostname\fR" 4 .IX Item "-H hostname, --hostname=hostname" The hostname, or IP address, of the spamd service to ping. By default the hostname \fBlocalhost\fR is used. If \fB\-\-socketpath\fR is set this value will be ignored. .IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIport\fR, \fB\-\-port\fR=\fIport\fR" 4 .IX Item "-p port, --port=port" The port of the spamd service to ping. By default port \fB783\fR (the spamd default port number) is used. If \fB\-\-socketpath\fR is set this value will be ignored. .IP \fB\-\-socketpath\fR=\fIpath\fR 4 .IX Item "--socketpath=path" Connect to given UNIX domain socket. Use instead of a hostname and TCP port. When set, any hostname and TCP port specified will be ignored. .IP "\fB\-t\fR \fIsecs\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\fR=\fIsecs\fR" 4 .IX Item "-t secs, --timeout=secs" The maximum time to wait for a ping response. Once exceeded the program will exit with a value of 2 to indicate the critical status. The default timeout value is 45 seconds. The timeout must be no less than 1 second. .Sp This value must be greater than the values specified for both the \fBcritical\fR and \fBwarning\fR values. .IP "\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR" 4 .IX Item "-v, --verbose" Display verbose debug output on STDOUT. .IP "\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR" 4 .IX Item "-V, --version" Display version info on STDOUT. .IP "\fB\-w\fR \fIsecs\fR, \fB\-\-warning\fR=\fIsecs\fR" 4 .IX Item "-w secs, --warning=secs" Warning ping response threshold in seconds. If a spamd ping response takes longer than the value specified (in seconds), and does not exceed the \&\fBcritical\fR threshold value, the program will exit with a value of 1 to indicate the warning status. .Sp This value must be no longer than the value specified for \fBcritical\fR and less than the value specified for \fBtimeout\fR. .SH "EXIT CODES" .IX Header "EXIT CODES" The program will indicate the status of the spamd process being monitored by exiting with one of these values: .ie n .IP 0 4 .el .IP \f(CW0\fR 4 .IX Item "0" OK: A spamd ping response was received within all threshold times. .ie n .IP 1 4 .el .IP \f(CW1\fR 4 .IX Item "1" WARNING: A spamd ping response exceeded the warning threshold but not the critical threshold. .ie n .IP 2 4 .el .IP \f(CW2\fR 4 .IX Item "2" CRITICAL: A spamd ping response exceeded either the critical threshold or the timeout value. .ie n .IP 3 4 .el .IP \f(CW3\fR 4 .IX Item "3" UNKNOWN: An error, probably caused by a missing dependency or an invalid configuration parameter being supplied, occurred in the sa\-check_spamd program. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBspamc\fR\|(1) \&\fBspamd\fR\|(1) \&\fBspamassassin\fR\|(1) .SH PREREQUISITES .IX Header "PREREQUISITES" \&\f(CW\*(C`Mail::SpamAssassin\*(C'\fR version 3.1.1 or higher (3.1.6 or higher recommended) .SH AUTHOR .IX Header "AUTHOR" Daryl C.
