NAME

lat-users - The lazy administrator's tool to add user accounts

DESCRIPTION

Creates or deletes user accounts on Mitel's SME servers (5.x/6.x).This tool is functionally equivalent to the 'User accounts' option in the server-manager, but can be run from the command line or called from an other script.It allows you, for example, to create a large number of accounts in a batch process, or delete accounts on a remote machine via an ssh console.

See /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.users for the format of the input file.
