# NAME

cyradm - Cyrus administration shell, alter ego of Cyrus::IMAP::Shell

# SYNOPSIS

      $ cyradm [--user user] [--[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 IMAP::Admin::Shell;

      run('myscriptname');

# DESCRIPTION

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

# COMMANDS

`authenticate` [`--minssf` N] [`--maxssf` N] [`--mechanisms` list] [user]
`auth` [`--minssf` N] [`--maxssf` N] [`--mechanisms` list] [user]
`login` [`--minssf` N] [`--maxssf` N] [`--mechanisms` list] [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.

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

`createmailbox` [`--partition` partition] mailbox
`createmailbox` mailbox partition
`create` [`--partition` partition] mailbox
`create` mailbox partition
`cm` [`--partition` partition] mailbox
`cm` 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).

`deleteaclmailbox` mailbox id [...]
`deleteacl` mailbox id [...]
`dam` mailbox id [...]
  Remove ACLs from the specified mailbox.

`deletemailbox` mailbox
`delete` mailbox
`dm` mailbox
  Delete the specified mailbox.

  Administrators do not have implicit delete rights on mailboxes. Use the setaclmailbox command to grant the `c` permission (or other permission as specified by the deleteright configuration option in imapd.conf) 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.

`disconnect`
`disc`
  Disconnect from the current server. The prompt will revert to `cyradm>`.

`exit` [number]
`quit` [number]
  Exit cyradm, optionally with a specific exit status; the exit status of the last command will be used if one is not specified.

help [command]
? [command]
  Show help for `command` or all commands.

`info` [mailbox]
  Display the mailbox/server metadata.

`listaclmailbox` mailbox
`listacl` mailbox
`lam` mailbox
  List ACLs on the specified mailbox.

`listmailbox` [`--subscribed`] [pattern [reference]]
`list` [`--subscribed`] [pattern [reference]]
`lm` [`--subscribed`] [pattern [reference]]
  List all, or all subscribed, 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.

`listquota` root
`lq` 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.

`listquotaroot` mailbox
`lqm` mailbox
`lqr` mailbox?
  show quota roots and quotas for mailbox

`renamemailbox` [`--partition` partition] oldname newname
`rename` [`--partition` partition] oldname newname
`renm` [`--partition` partition] oldname newname
`renamemailbox` oldname newname [partition]
`rename` oldname newname [partition]
`renm` 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.

server [--noauthenticate] [server]
connect [--noauthenticate] [server]
servername [--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.

`setaclmailbox` mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
`setacl` mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
`sam` 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` (`lrswipcd`), or `all` (`lrswipcda`), or any combinations of the ACL codes:
  l
    Lookup (visible to LIST/LSUB/UNSEEN)

  r
    Read (SELECT, CHECK, FETCH, PARTIAL, SEARCH, COPY source)

  s
    Seen (STORE \SEEN)

  w
    Write flags other than \SEEN and \DELETED

  i
    Insert (APPEND, COPY destination)

  p
    Post (send mail to mailbox)

  c
    Create and Delete mailbox (CREATE new sub-mailboxes, RENAME or DELETE mailbox)

  d
    Delete (STORE \DELETED, EXPUNGE)

  a
    Administer (SETACL)

`setquota` root resource value [resource value ...]
`sq` root resource value [resource value ...]
  Set a quota on the specified root, which may or may not be an actual mailbox. The only resource understood by Cyrus is `STORAGE`. The value may be the special string `none` which will remove the quota.

`version`
`ver`
  Display the version info of the current server.

# 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.
