Hello
As this was asked quite a few times on the mailing lists and the forum, we now added a utility to help you changing settings stored in user preferences: bin/moduserprefs.sh
Usage: moduserprefs.sh [--user=user-id] pref-name [pref-value|--delete] --user User ID in local database --delete Unset the given preference
If for example you want to reset all your user's message listing order, simply execute
$ bin/userprefs.sh message_sort_col date
Beside changing user prefs you can also unset them and make all users fall back to the default value from the global configuration:
$ bin/userprefs.sh skin --delete
This new utility is currently only available in git-master but will be part of the upcoming 0.9-beta release.
I hope this helps to make a sysadmins life a bit easier...
Cheers, Thomas
