      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by

      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

            This option overrides the default shell command that the

172
 
            output of the command will be ignored, only the exit code
173
 
            is checked:  If the exit code of the command is zero, the

184
 
            a <option>checker</option> option to check for the

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
345
 
            3339 duration; for example
346
 
            <quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
347
 
            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
348
 
            minutes, and six seconds.  Some values can be omitted, see
349
 
            RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
 
332
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
 
333
            space-separated number of values, each of which is a
 
334
            number and a one-character suffix.  The suffix must be one
 
335
            of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
 
336
            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
 
337
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
 
338
            added together to give the total time value, so all of
 
339
            <quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
 
340
            <quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
 
341
            <quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
 
342
            of five minutes and thirty seconds.
