HowTos/AdminScripts

Here are some scripts that aren't big enough for a own topic.

show the g-directory of a specific user

Sometimes we have to know the g-directory of a mailbox. If you don't want to deal with omshowu every time you can use this script:

if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
   echo "usage: $0 username"
   exit 1
fi
REALPATH=`/opt/scalix/bin/omrealpath "~/"`
OMSHOWU=`/opt/scalix/bin/omshowu -n "$1" -f 2>/dev/null| grep "User Folder"`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
        FOLDER=`echo $OMSHOWU | awk -F/  '{print $2 "/" $3 }' `
        echo $REALPATH$FOLDER
else
        echo "Can not find $1"
fi

As we are using the command "omshowu", we can use the same syntax to specify the username.

You can try to use the script like this:

cd `name_of_script "Givenname Surname"`

reset the imap-cache for a mailbox

A logical follow-up from the script above. With some early Scalix 11 versions it might necessary to reset the imap-cache.

if [ "$1" = "" ] then

 echo "usage: $0 username"
 exit 1

fi REALPATH=`/opt/scalix/bin/omrealpath "~/"` OMSHOWU=`/opt/scalix/bin/omshowu -n "$1" -f 2>/dev/null| grep "User Folder"` if [ $? -eq 0 ] then

  FOLDER=`echo $OMSHOWU | awk -F/  '{print $2 "/" $3 }' `
  ID=`/opt/scalix/bin/omshowu -n "$1" | grep "System Login :" | awk -F: '{print $2}' `
  echo -n "Do you really want to remove the imap-cache for $1 (y/N)"
  read DOIT
  if [ "$DOIT" = "y" ]
  then
    echo "killing IMAP-processes for user $1 (uid $ID) ..."
    pkill -u $ID in.imap41d
    echo "locking mail-account ..."
    /opt/scalix/bin/ommodu -o "$1" -K
    echo "killing UAL-remote processes for user $1 (uid $ID) ..."
    pkill -u $ID ual.remote
    echo "removing $REALPATH$FOLDER/imap-cache ..."
    rm -rf  $REALPATH$FOLDER/imap-cache
    echo "removing $REALPATH$FOLDER/00008.ofs ..."
    rm -rf  $REALPATH$FOLDER/00000v8.ofs
    echo "unlocking mail-account ..."
    echo -n "do you want to recreate the mailboxcache for $1 which can take a long time (y/N)"
    read DOIT2
    if [ "$DOIT2" = "y" ]
    then
        echo "recreating mailboxcache for $1...."
        /opt/scalix/bin/sxmbcprep -B -u "$1"
    fi
    /opt/scalix/bin/ommodu -o "$1" -k
    echo "done!"
  fi
else
  echo "Can not find $1"
fi
