NAME
====

Cyrus::IMAP::Shell - Perl version of cyradm


SYNOPSIS
========

   $ cyradm [--user authid] [--authz authzid] [--[no]rc] [--systemrc file] [--userrc file] \
   > [--port n] [--auth mechanism] [--server] server

but possibly

   $ perl -MCyrus::IMAP::Shell -e 'run("myscript")'

or even (not recommended)

   use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin::Shell;

   run('myscriptname');


DESCRIPTION
===========

This module implements **cyradm** in Perl.  It is a shell around
Cyrus::IMAP::Admin.  Commands are provided in both Tcl-compatible
forms and GNU-style long option forms.

The ``cyradm`` utility is a simple command line for performing common
administrative tasks on a Cyrus IMAP server, written in Perl.

The cyradm utility can either be executed from a client where it has
been installed and connect to the server via IMAP or it can be
executed locally via a shell on the server.

cyradm understands /bin/sh-style redirection: any command can have its
standard or error output redirected, with all sh-style redirections
(except <>) supported. It does not currently understand pipes or
backgrounding.

If the Term::Readline::Perl or Term::Readline::GNU modules are
available, cyradm will use it.


COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENTS
======================

* "--u", "--user" *user*

   Authenticate with the specified username.

* "--authz" *user*

* "--port" *port*

   Connect to the *server* specified on the port specified.

* "--auth" *mechanism*

   Use the mechanism specified to authenticate. One of PLAIN, LOGIN,
   DIGEST-MD5, etc.

* "--help"

   Show a help message about these command-line options.

   The server address to connect to.


COMMANDS
========


authenticate
------------

**authenticate** ["--minssf" *N*] ["--maxssf" *N*] ["--mechanisms"
*list*] ["--service" *name*] ["--tlskey" *keyfile*] ["--notls"] ["--
cafile" *cacertfile*] ["--capath" *cacertdir*] *user*

Authenticate to server.  You must already be connected to a server and
Cyrus imapd will refuse to allow you to re-authenticate once you have
authenticated once.

aliases: "auth", "login"


chdir
-----

**chdir** *directory*

Change directory.  A "pwd" builtin is not provided, but the default
command action will run "pwd" from a shell if invoked.

aliases: "cd"


createmailbox
-------------

**createmailbox** ["--partition" *partition*] ["--specialuse"
*specialuse*] *mailbox*

**createmailbox** ["--specialuse" *specialuse*] *mailbox* *partition*

Create a mailbox on the default or a specified partition.  Both old-
style and getopt-style usages are accepted (combining them will
produce an error). Optionally assign a special use to the mailbox.

New mailboxes inherit the ACL permissions of their parent mailbox,
except for top-level mailboxes such as the user’s INBOX. Mailboxes
that are the user’s INBOX are assigned all to the corresponding user.

* Example Usage

      localhost> :command:`cm user.john`
      localhost> :command:`lm`
      user.john (\HasNoChildren)
      localhost> :command:`lam user.john`
      john lrswipkxtecda

   Note that in the above example, the "unixhierarchysep" setting in
   imapd.conf is set to "0". When using the UNIX hierarchy separator,
   the "/" (forward slash) character would be used as the hierarchy
   separator, and the example would look as follows:

* Example Usage with "unixhierarchysep: 1"

      localhost> :command:`cm user/john`
      localhost> :command:`lm`
      user/john (\HasNoChildren)
      localhost> :command:`lam user/john`
      john lrswipkxtecda

* Note

   The above examples use the unqualified, shorthand user identifier
   john as the mailbox name.

   With the use of virtual domains, controlled through the
   "virtdomains" setting in imapd.conf(5).

aliases: "cm", "create"


deleteaclmailbox
----------------

**deleteaclmailbox** *mailbox* *id* […]

Remove ACLs from the specified mailbox.

aliases: "delteacl", "dam"


deletemailbox
-------------

**deletemailbox** *mailbox*

Delete the specified mailbox.

Administrators do not have implicit delete rights on mailboxes.  Use
the setaclmailbox command to grant the "x" permission to your
principal if you need to delete a mailbox you do not own.

Note that the online help admits to an optional host argument.  This
argument is not currently used, and will be rejected with an error if
specified; it is reserved for IMSP.

aliases: "delete", "dm"


disconnect
----------

**disconnect**

Disconnect from the current server.  The prompt will revert to
"cyradm>". This does not quit cyradm.

aliases: "disc"


exit
----

**exit** [*number*]

Exit "cyradm", optionally with a specific exit status; the exit status
of the last command will be used if one is not specified.

aliases: "quit"


help
----

**help** [command]

Show help for "command" or all commands.

aliases: "?"


getmetadata
-----------

**getmetadata** [*mailbox*]

Display mailbox/server metadata

aliases: "getmd"


info
----

**info** [*mailbox*]

Display the mailbox/server annotations.


listaclmailbox
--------------

**listaclmailbox** *mailbox*

List ACLs on the specified mailbox.

aliases: "lam", "listacl"


listmailbox
-----------

**listmailbox** ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [*pattern*
[*reference*]]

List all, or all subscribed or special-use, mailboxes matching the
specified pattern.  The pattern may have embedded wildcards "'\*'" or
"'%'", which match anything or anything except the separator
character, respectively.

Mailboxes returned will be relative to the specified reference if one
is specified.  This allows a mailbox list to be limited to a
particular hierarchy.

In some cases when the "'%'" wildcard is used to end a pattern, it may
match an entry which is not a mailbox but which contains other
mailboxes. In this case, the entry will be parenthesized to indicate
that it is a root for other mailboxes, as opposed to a mailbox itself.

aliases: "list", "lm"


listquota
---------

**listquota** *root*

List quotas on specified root.  If the specified mailbox path does not
have a quota assigned, an error will be raised; see listquotaroot for
a way to find the quota root for a mailbox.

aliases: "lq"


listquotaroot
-------------

**listquotaroot** *mailbox*

Show quota roots and quotas for mailbox

aliases: "lqm", "lqr"


mboxconfig
----------

**mboxconfig** ["--private"] *mailbox* *attribute* *value*

Set mailbox metadata, optionally set the private instead of the shared
version of the metadata. A value of “none” will remove the attribute.

The currently supported attributes are:

* "comment" *description*

   Sets a comment or description associated with the mailbox.

* "expire" *days*

   Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired from
   the mailbox.

* "news2mail" *address*

   Sets an email address to which messages injected into the server
   via NNTP will be sent.

* "pop3showafter" *time*

   Sets a time (in RFC3501 format, for example “6-Jan-2011 11:45:32
   +1100”) which specifies a cutoff date such that POP3 fetching of
   the folder does not see messages whose internaldate is before or
   equal to the date.

* "sharedseen" *true|false*

   Enables the use of a shared Seen flag on messages rather than a
   per-user Seen flag.  The ‘s’ right in the mailbox ACL still
   controls whether a user can set the shared Seen flag.

* "sieve" *scriptname*

   Indicates the name of the global sieve script that should be run
   when a message is delivered to the shared mailbox (not used for
   personal mailboxes).

* "squat" *true|false*

   Indicates that the mailbox should have a squat index created for
   it.

aliases: "mboxcfg"


reconstruct
-----------

**reconstruct** ["-r"] *mailbox*

Reconstruct the specified mailbox, optionally recursing and
reconstructing child mailboxes if the "-r" flag is given.

For more information see reconstruct(8).


renamemailbox
-------------

**renamemailbox** ["--partition" *partition*] *oldname* *newname*

**renamemailbox** *oldname* *newname* [*partition*]

Rename the specified mailbox, optionally moving it to a different
partition. Both old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted;
combining them will produce an error.

aliases: "rename", "renm"


server
------

**server**

**server** *[–noauthenticate]* *[server]*

With no arguments, show the current server.  With an argument, connect
to that server.  It will prompt for automatic login unless the "--
noauthenticate"option is specified.  (This may change; in particular,
either automatic authentication will be removed or all authenticate
options will be added.)

When connected to a server, **cyradm**’s prompt changes from "cyradm>"
to "servername>", where *servername* is the fully qualified domain
name of the connected server.

aliases: "connect", "servername"


setaclmailbox
-------------

**setaclmailbox** *mailbox* *id* *rights* [*id* *rights* …]

Set ACLs on a mailbox.  The ACL may be one of the special strings
"none", "read" ("lrs"), "post" ("lrsp"), "append" ("lrsip"),
"write"("lrswipkxte"), "delete" ("lrxte"), or "all" ("lrswipkxte"), or
any combinations of the ACL codes:

* **l**

   Lookup (mailbox is visible to LIST/LSUB, SUBSCRIBE mailbox)

* **r**

   Read (SELECT/EXAMINE the mailbox, perform STATUS)

* **s**

   Seen (set/clear SEEN flag via STORE, also set SEEN flag during
   APPEND/COPY/FETCH BODY[…])

* **w**

   Write flags other than SEEN and DELETED

* **i**

   Insert (APPEND, COPY destination)

* **p**

   Post (send mail to mailbox)

* **a**

   Administer (SETACL/DELETEACL/GETACL/LISTRIGHTS)

aliases: "setacl", "sam"


setinfo
-------

**setinfo** *attribute* *value*

Set server metadata.  A value of “none” will remove the attribute. The
currently supported attributes are:

* "motd" *message*

   Sets a “message of the day”.  The message gets displayed as an
   ALERT upon connection.

* "comment" *note*

   Sets a comment or description associated with the server.

* "admin" *address*

   Sets the administrator email address for the server.

* "shutdown" *message*

   Sets a shutdown message.  The message gets displayed as an ALERT
   and all users are disconnected from the server (subsequent logins
   are disallowed).

* "expire" *days*

   Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired from
   the server (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).

* "squat" *true|false*

   Indicates that all mailboxes should have a squat indexes created
   for them (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).


setmetadata
-----------

**setmetadata** [–private] mailbox [*annotation*] *value*

Set metadata on mailbox, where *annotation* is one of
[comment|expire|news2mail|pop3showafter|sharedseen|sieve|specialuse|
squat|/<explicit annotation>].

Note that *value* with a leading backslash must be escaped with an
additional backslash.  For example:

   setmetadata --private Spam specialuse "\\Junk"

Note, too, that “private” annotations are private to the user
currently authenticated as, not necessarily the owner of the mailbox.
To set annotations for another user you must authorize as that user.

In addition to the use of optional flag **–private**, one may use a
more explicit syntax, prefixing the annotation with ‘/shared/’ or
‘/private/’ as in this example:

   setmetadata Spam /private/specialuse "\\Junk"

aliases: "setmd"


setquota
--------

**setquota** *root* *resource* *value* [*resource* *value* …]

Set a quota on the specified root, which may or may not be an actual
mailbox. The *resources* understood by **Cyrus** are "STORAGE",
"MESSAGE", "X-NUM-FOLDERS" and "X-ANNOTATION-STORAGE".  The storage
units are, as defined in RFC 2087, groups of 1024 octets (i.e.
Kilobytes). The *value* may be the special string "none" which will
remove the quota.

aliases: "sq"


subscribe
---------

**subscribe** *mailbox*

Subscribe to the given mailbox.


unsubscribe
-----------

**unsubscribe** *mailbox*

Unsubscribe to the given mailbox.


version
-------

**version**

Display the version info of the current server.

aliases: "ver"


xfermailbox
-----------

**xfermailbox** ["--partition" *partition*] *mailbox* *server*

**xfermailbox** *mailbox* *server* [*partition*]

Transfer (relocate) the specified mailbox to a different server. Both
old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted; combining them will
produce an error.

aliases: "xfer"


NOTES
=====

GNU-style long options must be given in their entirety; Tcl-style
options may be abbreviated.

Tcl-style options are provided as a compatibility feature.  They will
probably go away in the future.

Multiple commands can be given on a line, separated by "';'"
characters.

All commands set an exit status, which at present is not useful.

Unknown commands are passed to a subshell for execution.

The Tcl version of **cyradm** is used for scripting as well as
interactively. While this is possible to a limited extent by use of
the "run" method, scripting would normally be done with
"Cyrus::IMAP::Admin", which is far more flexible than either
interactive "cyradm" or the Tcl scripting mechanism for Cyrus.

**cyradm** understands **/bin/sh**-style redirection:  any command can
have its standard or error output redirected, with all **sh**-style
redirections (except "<>") supported.  It does not currently
understand pipes or backgrounding.

If the "Term::Readline::Perl" or "Term::Readline::GNU" modules are
available, **cyradm** will use it.

An alias facility is implemented internally, but no access is
currently provided to it.  This will change, if only to allow some of
the predefined aliases to be removed if they conflict with useful
shell commands.
