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.
reload
Signals the prosody server daemon to reload configuration and reopen log files.
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).

register user server password

unregister user server

OPTIONS

--help
Display help text for the specified command.

FILES

/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
The main prosody configuration file. prosodyctl reads this to determine the process ID file of the prosody server daemon and to determine if a host has been configured.
