how to use cyradm in a not-so-interactive way?

[Kai]

Hi
Use the following scripts

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin;
my $client=Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new('yourhost');
$client->authenticate(-authz=>'',
                        -user=>'admin',
                        -password=>'yourpasswordhere',
                        -mechanism=>'PLAIN');
my $result=$client->createmailbox("$mailbox");

Regards
Kai
