166
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

            space-separated number of values, each of which is a

            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
313

            The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
 
341
            successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
 
342
            allowed to get the data this server holds.  By default
 
343
            Mandos will use 5 minutes.  See also the
