MAILESTD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		   MAILESTD(8)

NAME
       mailestd	-- mailest daemon

SYNOPSIS
       mailestd	[-dnh] [-S suffix] [-f file] [maildir]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mailestd is	a daemon which provides	the "search" functionality for
       mail messages using and managing	a  Hyper  Estraier's  database.	  Cur-
       rently  the mailestd can	be use as a "search" backend of	the "Mew".  To
       use the mailest for the search backend for the  Mew  program,  see  the
       EXAMPLE section in mew-mailest(1).

       The options are as follows:

       -d      Increase	debug level.  Do not daemonize and log to the stderr.

       -n      Do not actually start the daemon.  But checks the configuration
	       file.

       -S suffix

       -f file
	       Use  the	 file as the configuration file	instead	of the default
	       ${HOME}/Mail/mailestd.conf.  If the maildir  is	specified  to-
	       gether, related path mailestd.conf to the maildir is used.

       maildir
	       The  base  directory  instead of	the default ${HOME}/Mail.  The
	       directories below the maildir are the targets  for  the	search
	       functionality of	the mailestd.

       -h      Show the	usage.
