i guess if you're doing a show using the server some how and require everything to be the same on command, consider making a backup of the entire OS with a freshly set up install of citadel.. then depending on whatever backup solution you are using, ie proxmox.. it should be easy enough to just click restore (on proxmox the command would be something like "qm rollback vm:### /path/to/backupfile.gz") of which you could even use cron. but that gets out of the topic of citadel itself.
How do you view a list of previous usernames? I have a user who needs an email address that citadel is complaining is already in use but the user who has it doesn't exist.. so theres a database somewhere with it in it and i need to clear that.
if its easier, how can i just search an address to see who has it?
and if thats not possible, how do i "force" set a person's address?
i was able to find the UID for the user if that helps at all possibly. i haven't been able to find anything useful looking through the citadel documentation on my own yet though.
sadly i still have the issue and have had it for the past week now which is why i'm reaching out. i feel like i've explored every crevice of the web server with no luck and i'm hoping theres just a console command that can fix whatever's wrong or like force run the clean up command for old users. but, i've rebooted, its been at least 4 days and i've definately seen logs of it deleting and cleaning other stuff... but no luck on that specific user account.
it was created via LDAP and deleted from LDAP as well. i dont remember if i had to manually delete it from citadel or if it went away on its own after synching since its been a while since it was first deleted and i'm just now figuring out this was an issue.
what i have tried outside of citadel: recreating the user on LDAP so that citadel would ressurect or overwrite the user so i can just straight up delete it, but no luck. even assigning the UID says its already taken.. i've tried creating a generic account and tying the UID to it and deleting it with no luck..
maybe that specific type of cleaning service isn't running and i just need to restart that service? if that was the issue, i would imagine it'd be fixed in a matter of seconds after issuing a console command to restart it
root@Box:/usr/local/citadel# ./sendcommand IGAB sendcommand: started (pid=1392) connecting to Citadel server with data directory /usr/local/citadel sendcommand: can't connect: Connection refused
that's probably the problem.
well, i fixed the server's connection to itself... but now it just doesn't know what the command is
root@Mail:/usr/local/citadel# ./sendcommand IGAB
sendcommand: started (pid=625) connecting to Citadel server with data directory /usr/local/citadel
200 furryrefuge.com Citadel server ADMIN CONNECTION ready.
IGAB
530 Unrecognized or unsupported command.
sendcommand: processing ended.
well, i now have the UID of the non existant user account that uses the address. can i use this UID and sendcommand to remove the account? or at least unset/reset the address so its not taken up by the account?
so, after trying commands to unset the email (there was no straight up delete user command), i tried AGUP/ASUP and that failed saying user didn't exist so i couldn't change the email. here's the connundrum: GETU says it exists, but QUSR says it doesn't exist.. i can't query the user, but i can just get the user and it exists. doesn't appear in LIST... i'm not sure what to do. i did run TDAP which i assume is as close to IGAB as i can get, but that hasn't done anything useful just yet... says it started and its been an hour and the issue still exists, so i dont think it helped any.
