Here's something I'd like to see, and if someone polishes the script up
a little to do this, I'll put it in QTP.
qtp-vuser-mass-maint script
Usage: qtp-vuser-mass-maint {-a | -d} [-g] [-t] [-b filename | filename]
Description:
.) either the -a or -d flag (--add or --delete should be accepted) is
required, -a for add, -d for delete
.) -g (or --generate) flag generates passwords (add only)
.) -b (or --background) flag indicates to run in background, with no
user prompting
.) -t (or --test) flag indicates to run through the file and do echoes,
but don't actually update anything
.) filename is optional. User is prompted for filename if not supplied.
.) script first checks for valid parameters, if invalid then exit
.) check for file. If it doesn't exist and not silent mode, prompt the
user for file until file found or blank filename to exit.
.) if not background mode, read first record and echo resulting domain,
user, and whether there's a password or not. Ask the user if this is
correct and would like to proceed. If not ok, exit.
.) if -g flag is specified, use apg program to generate a password for
each user. Use a variable for apg parameters so that they can be easily
tailored, or pass apg parameters as value of -g flag.
.) echo each user processed with relevant information
Anyone care to tackle this? I'd encourage you to browse through the qtp-
scripts to see how you might do various things. The resulting script
must released under the GPL, as is most of the QTP content. Note, be
prepared for me to refactor the script to my liking before putting it
into qtp. Or not, if I like the way it reads. ;)
Any takers? We can move this topic over to the development list if there
are.
