How long to wait for external approval before resorting to

122
use the <option>approved_by_default</option> value. The
120
default is <quote>0s</quote>, i.e. not to wait.
123
default is <quote>PT0S</quote>, i.e. not to wait.

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
170
This option allows you to override the default shell
171
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
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
175
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>

This option overrides the default shell command that the

server will use to check if the client is still up. Any
175
output of the command will be ignored, only the exit code
176
is checked: If the exit code of the command is zero, the

<quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
176
179
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
177
180
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
178
181
value for the checker command is <quote><literal

><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
180

183
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>. Note that
184
<command>mandos-keygen</command>, when generating output
185
to be inserted into this file, normally looks for an SSH
186
server on the Mandos client, and, if it find one, outputs
187
a <option>checker</option> option to check for the
188
client’s key fingerprint – this is more secure against
183

In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
335
344
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
338
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
339
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
340
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
341
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
342
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
343
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
344
added together to give the total time value, so all of
345
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
346
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
347
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
348
of five minutes and thirty seconds.
347
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
348
3339 duration; for example
349
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
350
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
351
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
352
RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
