π NAME π
sympa-user-move β no wait, bestie, put your phone down β this is the sympa-user-move page and it's literally just: change a user email address. That's it. That's the whole gig. π
We're living in the sympa 6.2.80 era, btw. Slay.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
"sympa user move" current_email new_email
Yeah you clocked it β that first bit is a quoted string, don't come for me. π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so here's the tea π: this command changes a user email address. That's the assignment.
And when I say "changes it", I don't mean one lil spot in one lil file. I mean it changes that email address in all Sympa databases β like:
subscriber_table- list config
- etc.
...and it does that for all virtual robots. All of them. Every single one. It's giving full send, main character energy, no crumbs left behind. π
You hand it the old email as current_email and the shiny new one as new_email, and it goes and handles it everywhere. Iconic behaviour fr fr. π
Heads up bestie: "all databases" and "all virtual robots" means all of them β this is not a one-robot lil side quest, so be sure you actually want this energy before you hit enter. π
π a lil sign-off π
