The delete-users script isn't run from cron, although it can be if you so
desire. To run it by hand, su to root and call $CS_ROOT/lib/delete-users.
At CCN we run the script monthly (from csuite-cron), but we have it only
delete accounts which were marked for deletion over eight months ago. The
code for this is present in the CSuite 1.1 delete-users script, but
commented out:
# Delete all users marked for deletion.
dfiles="deletions.*"
# Only delete users marked for deletion over eight months ago.
#dfiles=$(ftimes deletions.* |
#gawk -F: -v staleaccounts=$(getdate 8 months ago) '
#$2 < staleaccounts { print $1 }')
#[ -f deletions.redo ] && dfiles="$dfiles deletions.redo"

If the IP's homepage file exists, it should appear in ips.html when
csuite-cron runs at the top of the hour.

It should - the IP groups are real Unix groups, and the members are the
IP's editors.

Yes, that sounds right.

So the Install command appears when you highlight a single file or
directory and press F for a menu, but not when you have multiple files
tagged? This sounds like a bug. What happens if you tag multiple files and
just press I (for Install) instead of F?
