            This option allows you to override the default shell

            command that the server will use to check if the client is
172
 
            still up.  Any output of the command will be ignored, only
173
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command
174

            <command>mandos-keygen</command>, when generating output
 
189
            to be inserted into this file, normally looks for an SSH
 
190
            server on the Mandos client, and, if it finds one, outputs
 
191
            a <option>checker</option> option to check for the

            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

373
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC

376
            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
