/* NAME
/*	postkick 1
/* SUMMARY
/*	kick a Postfix service
/* SYNOPSIS
/* .fi
/*	\fBpostkick\fR [\fB-c \fIconfig_dir\fR] [\fB-v\fR]
/*	\fIclass service request\fR
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	The \fBpostkick\fR(1) command sends \fIrequest\fR to the
/*	specified \fIservice\fR over a local transport channel.
/*	This command makes Postfix private IPC accessible
/*	for use in, for example, shell scripts.
/*
/*	Options:
/* .IP "\fB-c\fR \fIconfig_dir\fR"
/*	Read the \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file in the named directory
/*	instead of the default configuration directory.
/* .IP \fB-v\fR
/*	Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB-v\fR
/*	options make the software increasingly verbose.
/* .PP
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP \fIclass\fR
/*	Name of a class of local transport channel endpoints,
/*	either \fBpublic\fR (accessible by any local user) or
/*	\fBprivate\fR (administrative access only).
/* .IP \fIservice\fR
/*	The name of a local transport endpoint within the named class.
/* .IP \fIrequest\fR
/*	A string. The list of valid requests is service-specific.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Problems and transactions are logged to the standard error
/*	stream.
/* ENVIRONMENT
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* .IP \fBMAIL_CONFIG\fR
/*	Directory with Postfix configuration files.
/* .IP \fBMAIL_VERBOSE\fR
/*	Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The following \fBmain.cf\fR parameters are especially relevant to
/*	this program.
/*	The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
/*	\fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
/* .IP "\fBconfig_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
/*	configuration files.
/* .IP "\fBapplication_event_drain_time (100s)\fR"
/*	How long the \fBpostkick\fR(1) command waits for a request to enter the
/*	Postfix daemon process input buffer before giving up.
/* .IP "\fBqueue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
/* FILES
/*	/var/spool/postfix/private, private class endpoints
/*	/var/spool/postfix/public, public class endpoints

/*	qmgr(8), queue manager trigger protocol
