NAME
doveadm-service-stop - Stop Dovecot Services

SYNOPSIS

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] service stop service [service [...]]

DESCRIPTION

doveadm service stop stops the listed Dovecot service processes.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

Global doveadm(1) options:

-D

        Enables verbosity and debug messages.

-O

        Do not read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the latest version, but can be overridden with -o.

-k

        Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting.

-v

        Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

-i instance-name

        If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name.

        See instance_name setting for more information.

-c config-file

        Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first reads config socket, and then falls back to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance running compatible version.

-o setting=value

        Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

-f formatter

        Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:

        flow

            prints each line with key=value pairs.

json

    prints a JSON array of JSON objects.

pager

    prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).

tab

    prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.

table

    prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

ARGUMENTS

        The list of services to stop.
