NAME

cipux_refine_homedir - restore or recreate a homedir

SYNOPSIS

cipux_refine_homedir <MODE> <HOMEDIRPATH> <SKELUSER> <USER>

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the cipux_refine_homedir command.

cipux_refine_homedir is a program that restores or recreate a homedir of a given user on the base of a given skel dir.

OPTIONS

This program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). It uses a plain syntax with no dashes. The order does matter.

A summary of options is included below.

MODE: 1 = restore mode: rsync over the skel to the old homedir
2 = reset (recreate) mode: deletion of homedir, makeing of homedir and rsyncing.
HOMEDIRPATH: Path to the users homedir. Example: /skole/tjener/home0
SKELUSER: The skel-user is a specific user. His homedir will be used as a skel dir. For example: SKELUSER = teacher, this means that HOMEDIRPATH/teacher is the skel dir for the user whos homedir will be changed.
USER: The user for which this action is valid. An example for the teacher (skel-user) mherweg (user): restore (MODE=1) means, that the skel HOMDIRPATH/teacher will be rsynced with the homedir HOMEDIRPATH/mherweg

EXAMPLES

restore: Someone whould like to restore the homedir of the teacher mherweg on a Debian-Edu System:

cipux_refine_homedir 1 /skole/tjener/home0 teacher mherweg

recreate/ reset: The student Bilbo has totaly screwed up his homedir, which he may not repair by himself nor may be restored by rsync (rare case indeed!). If the login of Bilbo is bibeutlin here is the solution:.

cipux_refine_homedir 2 /skole/tjener/home0 student bibeutlin
