[SOLVED] fast way to search for an account

[Artturi]

Hello,

In order to create new accounts in zimbra, I've written a script that checks for newly created|modified accounts in our ldap server, and checks whether the accounts exists in zimbra.

To check if the account exists in zimbra, I use this :

su - zimbra -c "zmprov ga user@domain" | wc -l

I wondered if there's a faster way to do this as this command takes approx. 2s.
Any suggestion ?

Regards,

Here are a few suggestions:

1. call "zmprov gaa" and store the results in either a file or a variable in some scripting language. Parse from that instead of invoking the jvm for each record.

2. make a SMTP connection to Zimbra and pretend like you are sending mail to see if the account exists.
