Hey Barry,

Prepare your commands in a separate file and then run them through zmprov all in one go, for instance:

zmprov -l gaa |sed -e 's/^\(.*\)$/ma \1 displayName Uniformity/' > /tmp/batch
zmprov < /tmp/batch

This will set all your users' displayName to 'Uniformity', whilst only having to call zmprov twice, which is a lot faster than something like:

for i in `zmprov -l gaa`;do zmprov ma $i displayName Uniformity;done

Which calls zmprov for every account on your system, causing the dreaded twenty second startuptime of zmprov for every iteration.

Cheers,

Ludo
