A little script for parent-child sharing

[thesubmitter]

Hi,

I made a little script based on : Mailboxes: Sharing vs. Relationships » Zimbra :: Blog

Here is a simple shell script to automate the procedure just replace YOURDOMAIN with your domain.

#!/bin/sh/
echo "Username of the Parent Account"
read parent
echo "Username of the Child Account"
read child
childid=$(zmprov ga $child@YOURDOMAIN | grep zimbraId: | cut -d " " -f2)
zmprov ma $parent@YOURDOMAIN +zimbraChildAccount $childid
zmprov ma $parent@YOURDOMAIN +zimbraPrefChildVisibleAccount $childid

Thanks,
Amir

Thanks for the script.

For people who wants to use it, don't forget family mailboxes currently don't work in ZCS 6.0.x.

Here's some more scripts we cooked up a while ago to administrate family mailboxes.

Administrate primary / secondary mail accounts

Since 6.0.5 family mailboxes are "sortof" usable again, unless you need zimlets to function in a family mailbox.
