Mail serveradmin Commands
You can use the following commands with the serveradmin tool to manage mail
service.
Listing Mail Service Statistics
You can use the serveradmin getHistory command to display a log of periodic
samples of the number of user connections and the data throughput. Samples are
taken once each minute.
To list samples:
$ sudo serveradmin command
mail:command = getHistory
mail:variant =
statistic
mail:timeScale =
scale
Control-D
The computer responds with the following output:
mail:nbSamples = <samples>
mail:v2Legend = "throughput"
mail:samplesArray:_array_index:0:v
n
= <sample>
mail:samplesArray:_array_index:0:t = <time>
mail:samplesArray:_array_index:1:v
n
= <sample>
mail:samplesArray:_array_index:1:t = <time>
[...]
