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

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

            This option allows you to override the default shell

164
 
            still up.  Any output of the command will be ignored, only
165
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command
166

            This option overrides the default shell command that the

182

302

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

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

            successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
 
339
            allowed to get the data this server holds.  By default
