From de1d12286824bf217a94410ec555a7a88bc205ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garrett Wollman Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 18:51:45 +0000 Subject: Do not do manually what sendmail(8) can do better automatically. Tell sendmail to clean up its own host status cache. The error condition handling could probably be done better. --- share/man/man5/periodic.conf.5 | 25 ++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'share') diff --git a/share/man/man5/periodic.conf.5 b/share/man/man5/periodic.conf.5 index 888a7b4f638c4..e236f97dcbd4c 100644 --- a/share/man/man5/periodic.conf.5 +++ b/share/man/man5/periodic.conf.5 @@ -236,18 +236,16 @@ if you want the removed files to be reported in your daily output. .Pq Vt bool Set to .Dq YES -if you wish old files in -.Pa /var/spool/.hoststat -to be purged. -.It Va daily_clean_hoststat_days -.Pq Vt num -Set to the number of days that files must not have been modified before -they are deleted. -.It Va daily_clean_hoststat_verbose -.Pq Vt bool -Set to -.Dq YES -if you want the removed files to be reported in your daily output. +to run +.Ic sendmail -bH +to automatically purge stale entries from +.Xr sendmail 8 Ns 's +host status cache. +Files will be deleted using the same criteria as +.Nm sendmail +would normally use when determining whether to believe the cached information, +as configured in +.Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf . .It Va daily_backup_passwd_enable .Pq Vt bool Set to @@ -709,7 +707,8 @@ is shared or distributed. .Xr chkgrp 8 , .Xr dump 8 , .Xr newsyslog 8 , -.Xr periodic 8 +.Xr periodic 8 , +.Xr sendmail 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm -- cgit v1.3
