• User Cleanup

    From SHIFT838@21:4/164 to All on Fri Nov 1 20:54:30 2019
    I know that you can use mutil to mark users for deletion based on last date logged in. Is there a way to actually remove the deleted user though so that when a new user signs up they get that user #?

    To remove users marked for deletion you would need to run the [PackUserBase] function in MUTIL.

    Here's a look at mine.

    [snip]

    [General]

    ; list of functions to perform on startup

    PackUserBase = true

    logfile=mutil.log

    ; If set to TRUE (*HIGHLY* recommended for MUTIL) then it will write the
    ; log file in increments of 8KB at a time. If set to FALSE it will write
    ; each individual line as it is logged. This will significantly reduce
    ; MUTIL performance if set to FALSE.

    logcache=true

    ; Level 1 = basic
    ; Level 2 = verbose
    ; Level 3 = debug
    ;
    ; Note that the loglevel can also be set in a specific stanza and that value
    ; will override the value defined here only for that specific stanza

    loglevel=2

    ; logfile time stamp. defaults to NNN DD HH:II:SS if not set here
    ;logstamp = YYYYHHMMHHIISS

    ; Log roller type:
    ; 0 = Do not roll log files
    ; 1 = Roll by number of files/filesize
    ; 2 = Roll by number of days

    logtype = 0

    ; number of log files to keep (0 to disable log rolling)
    maxlogfiles = 31

    ; size of each log file in kilobytes
    maxlogsize = 10000

    [PackUserBase]

    ; This function has no options

    Yes, I believe the "pack user base" MUTIL action does this.

    Best regards
