Thanks webman or should I call you grasshopper Has anyone else used this filter in there zimbra install? I have completed all the instructions but not sure what to do now. Wondering if the script needs to be run from cron?

Hey ho, I was playing with my zimbra install last night again, I really need a hobby. Has anyone used the badword filter from the wiki? I was having a go at the word filter and Igot as far as the creating the script bit here... I can't find where I need to save this, am i missing something or can I just save it anywhere? Thanks

Has anynone else had this problem? Browsing to certain websites results in an error telling the user that they need flash 7 or greater to run the falsh app even though flash 10 is installed on the workstation - on a CC3 workstation? It's not a massive priority for me as the teacher with the problem is very needy - argh! Iv'e been on my own for 4 weeks as my tech is off long term sick, all staff have been asked to be a bit more thoughtful about what they request, always raise the job on the helpdesk and not to approach me in the corridor. It's only 9:30 and already I have had... 4 students asking for password changes. Can you turn the projector off for me as I don't know how to do it. Can you print this off for me as I don't know how to do it (Head of ICT) Can you transfer these pictures off my cam to the shared area. In the corridor "Can you set up the hall PC next thursday for me for an assembly. I think I might burst soon

I'm sure you have all seen shift happens... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbI-363A2Q]YouTube - Did You Know; Shift Happens - Globalization; Information Age[/ame] I have had to add music, change slides, watch it at our parents evenings and even watch it at my sons parent evening. Anyway how about we add our own facts for a new one? I'd start with there are 1.3 million twitter users, if twitter were a starbucks you's have to wait in a long queue for a mocha latte.

Ah, I suppose that makes sense. Oh well it should be good for some staff.

Thanks Webman, as per usual you came to my rescue. I wonder why it just wouldn't work by default?

I'm not sure if our staff would ever need the IM function on zimbra but I'd still like to see it working. At the moment all my zimbra works apart from the IM function. I have given access to it for my test users and they can see it on the tabs across the top. They can add a user but then nothing. Nobody gets an email informing them they have been added and nobody appears in the buddy list. Do you have to change any extra settings? Am I just being dense again? Thanks

I managed to share an inbox and now I'm on to trying to share a calendar. I have the code as below but I am getting an error "unknown folder: i" I cribbed most of the last line of code from the link that webman provided and as far as I can see it should zmmailbox -z (run zmmailboz as zimbra admin -m reg\@$domain (open reg's mailbox on the domain associated with $domain) mfg -i /Calendar account $member r"); (not sure about this bit but it is meant to share reg's calendar with the users!) #!/usr/bin/perl # Domain my $domain = "tayna.eu"; # Get distribution list information and filter to just it's members my $gdl = `/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov gdl staffcalendar\@$domain|grep zimbraMailForwardingAddress:`; my @dlmembers = split('\n', $gdl); foreach $member(@dlmembers){ $member =~ s/zimbraMailForwardingAddress:\s*|\s*$//g; print " - Got member '$member'.\n"; system("zmmailbox -z -m reg\@$domain mfg -i /Calendar account $member r"); }

I have it running on a year old dual core pc. 200 gig HD.

I'm not sure staff will appreciate it here really, but I like the challenge and all the time I am slowly picking up bits of linux on the way!

That got it thanks.

Hi All, I'm playing with Zimbra again today, with a view to showing it to the SMT next week. I'm trying to see if it is possible to set up several calendars for different groups... e.g SMT calendar just for SMT staff calendar for all staff Anyway can this be done through the admin console or is it done via a user creating the calendar? I have had a play and can only see the way by sharing a users created calendar. When I do this I cannot see a way to share with a large amount of users in one go, would this be done by sharing it with a distribution list or am I way off? Thanks

Sorry, to get back on topic! I can now run the script by typing ./zbackup.sh but It doesn't run in crontab. I have .. 00 23 * * Mon-Fri /usr/local/bin/backupscripts/zbackup.sh Do I need to change this somehow so it has the ./ in there? Could I change to the correct directory with the crontab and then execute weith ./ in front? Thanks (yet again)

@budgester Do you have any more info about how you did this? At the moment i am just exporting users from sims in a csv and then importing

Hi All, That age old debate over which is best, but without the hilarious Harry Hill way of deciding. We have been given Uniservity by our LA for two years. Now It has been active since sept and not one thing has been added to it. Not even by me and I do like to play! It just seems so uninteractive, more like a repository for storing word and pdf documents without that "Wow factor" to draw the students in. Fair enough they may like the My homepage and blog section for a while but where is the interactivity with the kids? Anyway I have used moodle in the past, 12 months ago and I want to set up one to try to persuade the SMT that before they do decide to throw some weight behind uniservity that maybe they should consider moodle. So this is where you come in What can I add on to the initial install of moodle to give the kids that portfolio that they now require? I have not found an add on yet for moodle that can replace that and that will be the first thing that the SMT will pick up on. Many Thanks

Cheers guys, I'll look into robocopy, never heard of it before!

It's not liking the /B switch - Invalid switch!

Er no, It is about the only switch I am not using! I'm just running a test with an exclude switch, once that is finished I shall investigate. Thanks

Hi All, My backups are p-laying up a bit at the moment so just for extra security I have set up a number of batch files to xcopy users data across to another HD on another machine. That I can manage with xcopy BUT I am geting an error when it gets to certain users(always the same one) telling me there is insufficient disk space when I do have about 3 TB spare. Having looked at these users it is because of a saved link in my settings/favourites! If I move that link and try again it works? my question is can I bypass this error with either an alternative to xcopy or with some setting within xcopy? Thanks

I know I must be missing something here as I don't know how to set the employee type. Anyone

dos2unix did the trick. Thanks again for everybodies help. I believe I now have a fully functional and backed up zimbra.

I am using Putty and I pasted directly from a notepad file! I am learning quickly here. thanks

Yep in in the directory that the zbackup.sh is in. If I type ./zbackup.sh I get a different error! -bash: ./zbackup.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Does that mean anything?

with either sh or bash I still get the error I mentioned before? On a separate note thanks to everyone who has helped me with this so far. I would be nowhere without your help. I'm enjoying this long and winding road which is linux.
