SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] service stop service [service [...]]

DESCRIPTION

       doveadm service stop stops the listed Dovecot service processes.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1)

       -D

           Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -O

           Do  not  read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the
           latest version, but can be overridden with

       -k

           Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting.

       -v

           Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       -i instance-name

           If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name.

           See instance_name setting for more information.

       -c config-file

           Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first  reads  config  socket,  and  then
           falls  back  to  /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance
           running compatible version.

       -o setting=value

           Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given
           value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

       -f formatter

           Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:

           flow

               prints each line with key=value pairs.

       pager

           prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).

       tab

           prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.

       table

           prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

ARGUMENTS

       service

           The list of services to stop.
