===lat-hosts===
The lazy administrator's tool to manage hostnames
===DESCRIPTION===
Creates or deletes hosnames on Mitel's SME servers. This tool is func-
tionally equivalent to the 'Hostnames and addresses' option in the
server-manager, but can be run from the command line or called from an
other script. It allows you, for example, to create a large number of
hostnames in a batch process, or delete hostnames on a remote machine
via an ssh console.
See /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.hosts for the format of the input
file.
===Smecontribs repository for SME Server===
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-lazy_admin_tools
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
===SYNOPSIS===
lat-hosts -a -c "host| domain| loc. | visib. | loc.ip | glob.ip | mac"
lat-hosts -a -i /path/to/hosts.list
lat-hosts -d [-f] -c "Host | Domain"
lat-hosts -d [-f] -i /path/to/hosts.list
===OPTIONS===
The following options are supported:
-a, --add

Extended help for this tool
-i FILE, --input-file=FILE
Use the information from FILE to create or delete the hostname(s).
Arguments:
host* : Must contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens,
and must start with a letter or number. Wildcards
(* and ?) can only be used to delete hostnames.
domain : Must be an existing (virtual) domain name. If
omitted, the primary site is assumed.
loc. : Location of the server:
'Local' (on the LAN)
'Remote' (on the Internet)
'Self' (alias for the SME server)
visib. : 'Local' (only visible on the LAN)
'Global' (visible on the entire Internet).
loc.ip : Internal IP number
glob.ip : Public IP number
