Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm relatively new to cyrus as an administrator and have made an effort to RTFM.
I'm wondering if there is any way to automate administrative tasks in Cyrus? I ask because I recently inherited the job of administering a debian Cyrus 2.1.15 system at the same time that the system crashed and the contents of /var/lib/cyrus were lost. It was a major chore to recreate each top level mailbox and then run reconstruct -r user.a_user for each individual user. The O'Reilly Managing IMAP book talks about using `cyradm connect` with TCL scripts, but this seems not to be an option with the new Perl version of cyradm, and I have been unable to identify any replacement system. It seems has if automating Cyrus Administration tasks has simply dropped off the face of the planet; sort of like a taboo thing that no one dares talk about -- certainly I haven't been able to find anything. Even being able to do a reconstruct -m would have been a big help, but the man page simple admonishes "NOTE: CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE" and leaves it at that. Am I missing something? Is google no longer my friend?
