Title: How to delete a user from the command line?
Post by: Oromis on September 24, 2013, 09:17:08 AM

Hello,

I need to remove a bunch of users from our SME 8.0 server. To save time, I want to write a script that deletes the users.

How can I delete a user from command line? Is it enough to do "db accounts remove xxx"? Or is something else needed?

Thanks in advance!

take a look into /etc/e-smith/events/user-delete

a

Code: [Select]

db accounts delete xxx
signal-event user-delete xxx

should be enough

you should test on a virtual machine before trying on the production server...

Sorry for bothering you.

You were not bothering us, but I think it's good to show or teach you where to find basic information that answers a lot of common questions.
That way you can find the answer yourself (in a lot of cases), & enquiries here to these forums can be for more difficult problems or issues that may not have been answered as yet, or are a one off situation requiring a unique answer.

If you know where to look for common answers then your SME Server "user experience" will be a better & more fulfilling one.
