/* NAME
/*	spawn 8
/* SUMMARY
/*	Postfix external command spawner
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	\fBspawn\fR [generic Postfix daemon options] command_attributes...
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	The \fBspawn\fR(8) daemon provides the Postfix equivalent
/*	of \fBinetd\fR.
/*	It listens on a port as specified in the Postfix \fBmaster.cf\fR file
/*	and spawns an external command whenever a connection is established.
/*	The connection can be made over local IPC (such as UNIX-domain
/*	sockets) or over non-local IPC (such as TCP sockets).
/*	The command's standard input, output and error streams are connected
/*	directly to the communication endpoint.
/*
/*	This daemon expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
/*	manager.
/* COMMAND ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The external command attributes are given in the \fBmaster.cf\fR
/*	file at the end of a service definition.  The syntax is as follows:
/* .IP "\fBuser\fR=\fIusername\fR (required)"
/* .IP "\fBuser\fR=\fIusername\fR:\fIgroupname\fR"
/*	The external command is executed with the rights of the
/*	specified \fIusername\fR.  The software refuses to execute
/*	commands with root privileges, or with the privileges of the
/*	mail system owner. If \fIgroupname\fR is specified, the
/*	corresponding group ID is used instead of the group ID
/*	of \fIusername\fR.
/* .IP "\fBargv\fR=\fIcommand\fR... (required)"
/*	The command to be executed. This must be specified as the
/*	last command attribute.
/*	The command is executed directly, i.e. without interpretation of
/*	shell meta characters by a shell command interpreter.
/* BUGS
/*	In order to enforce standard Postfix process resource controls,
/*	the \fBspawn\fR(8) daemon runs only one external command at a time.
/*	As such, it presents a noticeable overhead by wasting precious
/*	process resources. The \fBspawn\fR(8) daemon is expected to be
/*	replaced by a more structural solution.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	The \fBspawn\fR(8) daemon reports abnormal child exits.
/*	Problems are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) or \fBpostlogd\fR(8).
/* SECURITY
/* .fi
/* .ad
/*	This program needs root privilege in order to execute external
/*	commands as the specified user. It is therefore security sensitive.
/*	However the \fBspawn\fR(8) daemon does not talk to the external command
/*	and thus is not vulnerable to data-driven attacks.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically as \fBspawn\fR(8)
/*	processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
/*	"\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change.
/*
/*	The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
/*	\fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
/*
/*	In the text below, \fItransport\fR is the first field of the entry
/*	in the \fBmaster.cf\fR file.
/* RESOURCE AND RATE CONTROL
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* .IP "\fBtransport_time_limit ($command_time_limit)\fR"
/*	A transport-specific override for the command_time_limit parameter
/*	value, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf name of the message
/*	delivery transport.
/* MISCELLANEOUS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* .IP "\fBconfig_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
/*	configuration files.
/* .IP "\fBdaemon_timeout (18000s)\fR"
/*	How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
/*	request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
/* .IP "\fBexport_environment (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The list of environment variables that a Postfix process will export
/*	to non-Postfix processes.
/* .IP "\fBipc_timeout (3600s)\fR"
/*	The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal
/*	communication channel.
/* .IP "\fBmail_owner (postfix)\fR"
/*	The UNIX system account that owns the Postfix queue and most Postfix
/*	daemon processes.
/* .IP "\fBmax_idle (100s)\fR"
/*	The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process waits
/*	for an incoming connection before terminating voluntarily.
/* .IP "\fBmax_use (100)\fR"
/*	The maximal number of incoming connections that a Postfix daemon
/*	process will service before terminating voluntarily.
/* .IP "\fBprocess_id (read-only)\fR"
/*	The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
/* .IP "\fBprocess_name (read-only)\fR"
/*	The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
/* .IP "\fBqueue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
/* .IP "\fBsyslog_facility (mail)\fR"
/*	The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
/* .IP "\fBsyslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
/*	records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
/* .PP
/*	Available in Postfix 3.3 and later:
/* .IP "\fBservice_name (read-only)\fR"
/*	The master.cf service name of a Postfix daemon process.
