I tried to use a mbox to maildir perl script (mb2md) but it requires that the user have a shell on the machine and the users (few hundred) don't have a shell to su to do the conversion.

Is there a script that will do this (as root) ? for any user that I want to run the script for?


An outline of a Python script for this might be:

-----

#!/usr/bin/python

import os

mbox_name = 'mbox name goes here'

for user_name in os.listdir('/home/'):
if mbox_name in os.listdir('/home/' + user_name):
os.system('sudo %s mb2md -s /home/%s/%s' % (
user_name, user_name, mbox_name))

Hope that helps


I'll try running it with sudo instead of su, however I think I tried that already. Stay tuned...
