If you maintain people's names on the list, then the same procedure can be
used to remove someone based on some string in the name, in case you know
the name but not the address (I often get such requests):
bin/list_members -f <list> | grep -e "<string>"| wc
<count check>
bin/list_members -f <list> | grep -v -e "<string>" > <list>
bin/list_members -f <list> <list>
All this can, of course, be worked into a simple script that also does the
count check
and that will return 'ambiguous', 'OK', 'not found' as appropriate.
Then you should be able to remove someone with just
delete_member <list> <some_string_of_characters>
As for adding to the FAQ, I'll respectfully bow out and leave it to more
experienced users to do if they deem the above an appropriate addition.
Yours,
Allan
