Problems with ZMPROV command

[hsp896]

Hi,

I'm having an strange problem. I use a *.sh file to update the accounts, aliases and distribution lists in my Zimbra installation. I created a little program in my main server to create a .sh file with new accounts, aliases, distribution lists and accounts to be removed. During test phase it has worked perfectly. I've done the movement of the file created manually, copying and pasting the contents of the file in the server where Zimbra is installed and when running it I haven't had a problem. Now, when preparing things to get a step forward, I made some scripts to include the .sh file in a rar file with password, and cron in server with zimbra downloads it, uncompress and execute the file, but now I get a problem, the sh file create accounts but when trying to create an alias or a distribution list I always get an error saying "ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_DOMAIN (no such domain:". I guess it's a problem in the file I create with the program, due to type of file, chars set, I don't know.

If I get the text of the file when downloaded, that text giving problems, and copy/paste it in a sh created in the server it runs fine.

Any help is welcome.

regards

I'm sorry but what you've posted doesn't make sense to me. If you're having a problem running the zmprov in a script then post the script so it can be reviewed.

Hi,

here the contents of .sh file

zmprov ca john.doe@ghg2810.org 123443212 displayName john.doe
zmprov cdl all@ghg2810.org
zmprov adlm all@ghg2810.org john.doe@ghg2810.org
zmprov aaa john.doe@ghg2810.org fi-aoc@ghg2810.org
zmprov ca gustavo.hernandez@ghg2810.org 8899998899 displayName gustavo.hernandez
zmprov adlm all@ghg2810.org gustavo.hernandez@ghg2810.org

Only lines with create account are correcly executed. The rest give an error. Create Distribution List and add alias give the error I already wrote in previous post. Add account user to a distribution lists gives an error saying the distribution list doesn't exist, what's obvious.

Are you actually running these as the Zimbra user in the script? How are you becoming the Zimbra user? In isolation those instructions should work, where's the rest of the script?

Hi,

yes, it runs as zimbra user cause it's launched by Zimbra cron. The rest of the script is:

first lines:
#!/bin/bash

No more lines. As I got errors, I reduced in the main server the exe program to create only these accounts to test, and with them I get the errors.

Hi,

just found the solution. Using dos2unix it fix the problem with codes Windows insert and linux doesn't need.
