[vchkpw] Feature request for vaddaliasdomain
A feature request for vaddaliasdomin. I would like a configure option (best) or a command-line switch (not so good) that reverses the order of the two arguments. I'd like it for two reasons: 1) It is then the same order as for ln (original, alias) so easier to remember if they're that way around. 2) We get clients who register lots of domain names and want them aliased. After the first vaddaliasdomain I can up-arrow to recall the command but then I have to left-arrow over the original domain (a pain if the network in between me and the server is bursty because it's easy to overshoot) so I can modify the alias domain. Reversing the order of these two would greatly cut down the number of times I have to left-arrow. Obviously it would have to default to the old behaviour, but those of us who knew of it could take advantage of it. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
RE: [vchkpw] Feature request for vaddaliasdomain
If you do this often enough, why not just write a simple little shell script to accomplish this: Say you have 100 domains you need to alias to 1. Put this 100 domains in a text file - one per line. Write a perl script to take in 2 arguments, the main domain name and the file with all the domains to be aliased. parse the file and run the vaddaliasdomain. This will save you even more time since you do not have to left-arrow or backspace at all. Lu -Original Message- From: Paul L.

If y.com exists, make x.com an alias to it. If neither exists, exit with an error. It shouldn't be difficult to do -- you can use vget_assign() to see if the domain exists. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

A bit odd to document, but otherwise a fabulous idea. vaddaliasdomain x.com y.com If both x.com and y.com exist, exit with an error. If x.com exists, make y.com an alias to it. If y.com exists, make x.com an alias to it. If neither exists, exit with an error. It shouldn't be difficult to do -- you can use vget_assign() to see if the domain exists.
