PROGRAM:
NAME
prosodyctl - Manage a Prosody XMPP server
SYNOPSIS
prosodyctl command [--help]
DESCRIPTION
prosodyctl is the control tool for the Prosody XMPP server. It may be used to control the
server daemon and manage users.
prosodyctl needs to be executed with sufficient privileges to perform its commands. This
typically means executing prosodyctl as the root user. If a user named "prosody" is found
then prosodyctl will change to that user before executing its commands.
COMMANDS
User Management
In the following commands users are identified by a Jabber ID, jid, of the usual form:
user@domain.
adduser jid
Adds a user with Jabber ID, jid, to the server. You will be prompted to enter the
user's password.
passwd jid
Changes the password of an existing user with Jabber ID, jid. You will be prompted
to enter the user's new password.
deluser jid
Deletes an existing user with Jabber ID, jid, from the server.
Daemon Management
Although prosodyctl has commands to manage the prosody daemon it is recommended that you
utilize your distributions daemon management features if you attained Prosody through a
package.
To perform daemon control commands prosodyctl needs a pidfile value specified in
/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua. Failure to do so will cause prosodyctl to complain.
start Starts the prosody server daemon. If run as root prosodyctl will attempt to change
to a user named "prosody" before executing. This operation will block for up to
five seconds to wait for the server to execute.
stop Stops the prosody server daemon. This operation will block for up to five seconds
to wait for the server to stop executing.
restart
Restarts the prosody server daemon. Equivalent to running prosodyctl stop followed
by prosodyctl start.
status Prints the current execution status of the prosody server daemon.
Ejabberd Compatibility
ejabberd is another XMPP server which provides a comparable control tool, ejabberdctl, to
control its server's operations. prosodyctl implements some commands which are compatible
with ejabberdctl. For details of how these commands work you should see ejabberdctl(8).

unregister user server
