how to create multiple accounts via script

[mgo72]

Hello,

I need to create +/- 100 accounts onto a server under the same reseller.

They have all the same package, but different usernames.

They should also all need to be changed the A-record to point to another server.

Who can help me setting this up.

Thanks

You can use /scripts/wwwacct to create accounts via commandline:

[email protected] [~]# /scripts/wwwacct
Please use the this syntax
wwwacct <domain> <user> <pass> <quota> <cpmod[advanced/?]> <ip[y/n]> <cgi[y/n]> <frontpage[y/n]> <maxftp> <maxsql> <maxpop> <maxlst> <maxsub> <bwlimit> <hasshell[y]/[n]> <owner> <plan> <maxpark> <maxaddon> <featurelist> <contactemail> <use_registered_nameservers> <language>

The owner flag will set the account ownership so something like:

/scripts/wwwacct joetest.com joe joessupersecretpassword 1000M x3 n y n 99 99 99 99 99 0 y RESELLERUSERNAME

should work and you can bash script it from there. As for the DNS aspect of your issue, you can try using the DNS templates to set the A entry to the remote IP. I think that might work.
