Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Shell script to set user password to never expire in UNIX servers Post 302968694 by Don Cragun on Sunday 13th of March 2016 05:17:40 PM

Show us the exact command you would use to remove the expiration date for a user's password.

Tell us what you want the script to do. (Should a list of users be provided as command-line operands? Should the script repeatedly prompt for a user name until the person running the script indicates they are done? Should the script repeatedly prompt for user names if and only if user names were not given as command-line operands? Something else?)

What shell are you using?

Which UNIX server are you using?

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--password=password] [--exec=script] [--execfile=file] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -p password, --password=password The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution! -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done. -f file, --execfile=file Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
