rt-shredder --plugin help-Users
(snip)
no_tickets - boolean
If true then plugin looks for users who are not watchers (Owners,
Requestors, Ccs or AdminCcs) of any ticket.
Well, using the following command gets me thousands of results:
rt-shredder --plugin
“Users=no_tickets;status,any;replace_relations,Nobody;limit,10000” –
sqldump /u/rtweb/shredder-restore-users.sql
Investigating these users, I find that all of them are Ccs of tickets,
but are not Requestors of any tickets. This seems to conflict with
both the documentation for the option, and the expected result.

So I’ve been chasing this bug around in the code for over an hour, and
all I can say at this point is I REALLY HATE GLOBAL VARIABLES.
There is absolutely no reason for having subroutines modify global
variables, and it makes the code darn hard to debug. If I was to do
the work to make all of these modules strict, would you accept the
patches?On Jun 2, 2009, at 12:25 PM, Jo Rhett wrote:

I found the bug. It’s a documentation bug mostly – the no_tickets
option is listed as binary, which said to me no value should be
provided. However, if you don’t define a value (like quoted below)
then it doesn’t work.
This code change would allow it to be used either way:
— Users.pm_orig 2009-06-02 12:28:24.000000000 -0700
+++ Users.pm 2009-06-02 14:25:26.000000000 -0700

Thank you, looks that the bug or wrongly documentation is still existing. Just tried it out and no_tickets deleted my (on a test data) users as owners and watchers (CC)…
