      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
68
 
      the service.  All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,
69
 
      even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.
 
73
      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by
 
74
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

            still up.  Any output of the command will be ignored, only
167
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command
168

            This option overrides the default shell command that the

            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.
 
348
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
 
349
            3339 duration; for example
 
350
            <quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
 
351
            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
 
352
            minutes, and six seconds.  Some values can be omitted, see
