DOVEADM-EXEC(1)			    Dovecot		       DOVEADM-EXEC(1)

NAME
       doveadm-exec - easily execute commands from Dovecot's libexec_dir

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] exec binary [binary arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  allows  administrators and local users to	simply execute
       commands	from within libexec_dir.  So for example a  logged  in	system
       user  could  start a pre-authenticated imap session, using the command:
       doveadm exec imap.  An administrator would  use	the  command:  doveadm
       exec imap -u username.

       -D     Enables verbosity	and debug messages.

       -o setting=value
	      Overrides	 the  configuration  setting from /usr/local/etc/dove-
	      cot/dovecot.conf and from	the userdb with	the given  value.   In
	      order to override	multiple settings, the -o option may be	speci-
	      fied multiple times.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

ARGUMENTS
       binary the name of an executable	located	in /usr/local/libexec/dovecot.

       binary arguments
	      options  and  arguments, which will be passed through to the bi-
	      nary.

EXAMPLE
       This example demonstrates how to	deliver	a message from	a  file	 to  a
       user's mailbox.

       doveadm exec dovecot-lda	-d user@example.net \
       -f admin@example.net < ~/stuff/welcome.msg
