Hi

Thanks, I have tested the script and it works as expected showing the edited message.

However, I we don't want users(Transition Team) to be modifying the script's so incase something else mess ups. Therefore,

Can we call 2 files with the script as follows

file 1-service_template (which will have all the welcome board message, numbers/emails etc)

file 2-service_message.txt ( This will have a paragraph of message in this file...)

file 3-Will be our initial script which when run calls these two and updates, so no one actually modifies the script, rather than the ONLY service_message.txt file which will have the outage message few lines.

How can I achieve this, as I have created the first 2 files and the script portion is which needs more addition or amendment?

Thanks

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] 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. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
