3.16.3. RefreshPeriod Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

If this optional parameter is set to non-zero, it specifies the time period in seconds that ClientListSQL will refresh its client list by rereading the database. If set to 0, then ClientListSQL will only read the client list from the database once at startup and on SIGHUP. Defaults to 0. The % formats are permitted.
When the RefreshPeriod expires and the list of clients is read from the SQL database, any Clients previously created by this ClientList are cleared and a new set of clients read from the database. This means that Clients defined in the configuration file will not be removed. It also means that multiple ClientListSQL clauses with non-zero RefreshPeriods will not remove each others Clients.
# Reread the client list every hour
RefreshPeriod 3600
