Many thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions so far! I've managed to
patch together a Bash script that is close to what I'd like. Currently it's
just dumping out the magic data, for testing purposes.
As a note, simplying using the -u <username> doesn't work as sa-learn attempts
to use the bayes database for 'root' and not for <username>. So I tried the
additional command line switches. (see the 'sudo' command in the code below)
The easier method, since I'm running as root, is the 'su -u <username> -c "cmd"'
suggestion. It's clean and simple.
Here's what I've used so far with some success. There will be more changes
tomorrow:
=======================
#!/bin/bash
for myfile in /home/*
do
if [ -d "$myfile" ]
then
username=${myfile##*/}
# the user must have the learning folders
# .Junk.learnspam
# .Junk.learnham
if [ ! -d "$myfile/Maildir/.Junk.learnspam" ] &&
[ ! -d "$myfile/Maildir/.Junk.learnham" ];
then
echo "$username does not have the learning folders"
continue
fi
# omit certain users from this process
if [ $username != 'www' ] &&
[ $username != 'mysql' ] &&
[ $username != 'sysadmin' ];
then
echo "$username is learning"
su - $username -c "sa-learn --dump magic"
# sudo -u $username sa-learn --username=$username
--prefs-file=/home/$username/.spamassassin/user_prefs --dbpath
/home/$username/.spamassassin --dump magic
fi
fi
done
=======================
Thanks!
