sympa-user-move(1)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

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. πŸ‘‘

We're living in the sympa 6.2.80 era, btw. Slay.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

"sympa user move" current_email new_email

Yeah you clocked it β€” that first bit is a quoted string, don't come for me. 🫢


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea πŸ“: 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. πŸ’…

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. 🌈

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. πŸ™ˆ
