Recall that when a new account is created with the add
command, the default account is used as a source of
defaults for the new account. Thus, by changing the settings for the
default account with the modify command, you
change the defaults which will be applied to subsequently created
accounts. For instance, to change the default account quota to 100
kbytes with an overdraft quota of 10 kbytes, you would modify the
default account accordingly:
popstore> modify default -quota=100 -overdraft=10 |
Note that the settings for the default account only
applies to new accounts created with the add command. The default
account settings do not apply to all existing accounts.
6.7 Bulk loading accounts
To create many accounts at once, use the run command.
Before using that command, first create a text file containing commands
with one command per line. For instance,
# cat a.com add jdoe -owner "John Doe" -password 133458 add csmith -owner "Cathy Smith" -password 244587 add rbrown -owner "Randy Brown" -password 569214 ... # |
run command to execute the commands from the
file:
# pmdf popstore popstore> run -log a.com popstore> add bjames -owner "Bob Jones" -password 133458 popstore> add csmith -owner "Cathy Smith" -password 244587 popstore> add rbrown -owner "Randy Brown" -password 569214 popstore> ... popstore> quit # |
-ignore switch to cause
processing to continue despite any errors which might occur.
