DESCRIPTION
       Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like sys-
       tems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an  excellent
       choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set
       up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

OPTIONS
       -a

           Dump all configuration settings to stdout  and  exit  successfully.
           The same as doveconf -a.

       -c config-file

           Start dovecot with an alternative configuration.

       -F

           Run dovecot in foreground, do not daemonize.

       -n

           Dump non-default settings to stdout and exit successfully. The same
           as doveconf -n.

       -p

           Prompt for the ssl key password for the  configured  ssl_server_key
           on startup.

       --build-options

           Show Dovecot's build options and exit successfully.

       --help

           Print a usage message to stdout and exit successfully.

       --hostdomain

           Shows  the  current  host.domain  name of the system. If the domain
           lookup should fail for some  reason,  only  the  hostname  will  be
           shown.

       --version

           Show Dovecot's version and exit successfully.

COMMANDS
       reload

           Force dovecot to reload its configuration.

       stop

           Shutdown dovecot and all its child processes.

       When  shutdown_clients is set to no, existing sessions will continue to
       use the old settings, after a dovecot reload. Also  all  sessions  will
       keep alive after a dovecot stop.

       By default all active sessions will be shut down.

SIGNALS
       Dovecot handles the following signals as described:

       HUP

       INT

           Shutdown dovecot and all its child processes.

       TERM

       USR1

           Force  dovecot  to  reopen  all  configured  log  files  (log_path,
           info_log_path and debug_log_path).

       The signals ALARM and PIPE are ignored.
