Sieve vacation script?

first of all you have to add lines to /etc/cyrus.conf to make the server 
listen to the right ports:

At least in our /etc/services file, "sieve" is still port 2000 even though 
that's been superseded by RFC 5804. We listen on both ports:

  sieve         cmd="timsieved" listen="cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de:sieve" 
prefork=0
  managesieve   cmd="timsieved" listen="cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de:4190" 
prefork=0

You can run sieveshell on any computer you like. Just make sure the port 
mentioned above are reachable.

Not really. I prefer to use a GUI. We offer Smartsieve to our clients:

There's also an Add-On for Thunderbird:
