Hi, I'm still unclear about this. According to the perldocs, it is recommended *not* to: use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin::Shell; Does anybody know why is this not recommended? Ideally, I could use shell scripts to create a file with the cyradm commands, and run those. Is there a way to do this so it doesn't require the password to be entered interactively?
