NAME

lat-ibays - The lazy administrator's tool to create ibays

DESCRIPTION

Creates or deletes ibays on Mitel's SME servers (5.x/6.x). This tool is functionally equivalent to the 'Information bays' 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 an i-bay as part of an installation script, or delete i-bays on a remote machine via an ssh console.

See /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.ibays for the format of the input file.
