NAME
====
prosodyctl - Manage a Prosody XMPP server
SYNOPSIS
========
prosodyctl command [--help]
DESCRIPTION
===========
prosodyctl is the control tool for the Prosody XMPP server. It may be
used to control the server daemon and manage users.
prosodyctl needs to be executed with sufficient privileges to perform
its commands. This typically means executing prosodyctl as the root
user. If a user named "prosody" is found then prosodyctl will change to
that user before executing its commands.
COMMANDS
========
User Management
---------------
In the following commands users are identified by a Jabber ID, jid, of
the usual form: user@domain.
adduser jid
: Adds a user with Jabber ID, jid, to the server. You will be prompted
to enter the user's password.
passwd jid
: Changes the password of an existing user with Jabber ID, jid. You
will be prompted to enter the user's new password.
deluser jid
: Deletes an existing user with Jabber ID, jid, from the server.
Daemon Management
-----------------
Although prosodyctl has commands to manage the prosody daemon it is
recommended that you utilize your distributions daemon management
features if you attained Prosody through a package.
To perform daemon control commands prosodyctl needs a pidfile value
specified in `/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`. Failure to do so will cause
prosodyctl to complain.
start
: Starts the prosody server daemon. If run as root prosodyctl will
attempt to change to a user named "prosody" before executing. This
operation will block for up to five seconds to wait for the server
to execute.
stop
: Stops the prosody server daemon. This operation will block for up to
five seconds to wait for the server to stop executing.
restart
: Restarts the prosody server daemon. Equivalent to running prosodyctl
stop followed by prosodyctl start.
reload
: Signals the prosody server daemon to reload configuration and reopen
log files.
status
: Prints the current execution status of the prosody server daemon.
Ejabberd Compatibility
----------------------
ejabberd is another XMPP server which provides a comparable control
tool, ejabberdctl, to control its server's operations. prosodyctl
implements some commands which are compatible with ejabberdctl. For
details of how these commands work you should see ejabberdctl(8).
register user server password
unregister user server
OPTIONS
=======
`--help`
: Display help text for the specified command.
FILES
=====
`/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`
: The main prosody configuration file. prosodyctl reads this to
determine the process ID file of the prosody server daemon and to
determine if a host has been configured.
ONLINE
======
