mkusers

MKUSERS(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MKUSERS(8)

NAME

       MkUsers - Batch creating multiple XMail accounts

SYNOPSIS

       MkUsers [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  line  utility  enable You to create user accounts structure by giving it a formatted list of users parameters or a formatted
       text file.  This utility can be also used to create a random number users, that is useful for me for testing the server performance.

OPTIONS

       -a numusers
	      Number of users to create in auto-mode.

       -d domain
	      Domain name in auto-mode.

       -f inputFile
	      Input file name {stdin}.

       -u username
	      Radix user name in auto-mode.

       -r rootdir
	      Mail root path {./}.

       -s mboxsize
	      Mailbox maximum size {10000}.

       -i useridbase
	      Base user id {1}.

       -m     Create Maildir boxes.

       -h     show help message.

USAGE

       Input file format is

       domain;username;password;real-name;homepage[NEWLINE]

       where a character # as the very first one in a line is used to comment the entire line.

       If a file mailusers.tab already exist in mail root path MkUsers exit without overwriting the existing copy.  This protect You by accidental
       overwriting  of	Your  file  when  playing  inside  the real MAIL_ROOT directory.  So if You want to setup the root directory ( -r ... ) as
       MAIL_ROOT You must delete by hand the existing file.  If You setup the root directory ( -r ... ) as MAIL_ROOT You MUST have  XMail  stopped
       before  running MkUsers.  Existing files and directories will be not overwrited by MkUsers so You can keep Your users db into the formatted
       text file ( or generate it by a database dump for example ) and run MkUsers to create the structure. Remeber that You've to add new domains
       in domains.tab file by hand.

NOTES

       MkUsers	is  intended as a bulk-mode utility, not to create single users coz for this need CtrlClnt ( or other GUI/Web configuration utili-
       ties ) is better suited.

SEE ALSO

       CtrlClnt(1), XMail(8).
