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

      the service.  All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,

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

168
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command

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

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
334
 
            space-separated number of values, each of which is a
335
 
            number and a one-character suffix.  The suffix must be one
336
 
            of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
337
 
            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
338
 
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
339
 
            added together to give the total time value, so all of
340
 
            <quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
341
 
            <quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
342
 
            <quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
343
 
            of five minutes and thirty seconds.
 
344
            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
