Is there a command line script that can be used to view an individual user's subscription options for a specific list?
I'm not aware of one, but it is fairly simple to do. I'm willing to add it to the collection at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/>, but what do you want in the way of output. Presumably the input would be something like
get_user_options listname user@example.com
but what kind of output are you looking for? What fields and in what format?
I wrote something (really ugly[*], incrementally developed over a period of weeks) that produced, based on the main "membership" page(s) that produced via web access, e.g.
apepper@pytone.org smHxanudP "Adrian Pepper"
apepper@pyttwo.org smHxAnuDP "Adrian Pepper again"
empty@pytone.org smHxanudP "Empty Recipient List"
mshapiro@pytone.org smHxanudP "Mark Shapiro"
onafees@pytthree.org smHXanudP "Oscar Nafees"
those letter options correspond to reading across on https://SERVER/mailman/admin/LISTNAME/members sort of like "ls gone a little crazy".
s/S - subscribe/unsubscribe (not actually implemented, for "safety") (though I did once in a test version when it would be useful) m/M - moderation off/ON h/H - hidden off/ON x/X - nomail off/ON (reason lost) a/A - ack off/ON n/N - not metoo off/ON u/U - nodUpes off/ON (ahem!) d/D - digest off/ON p/P - plaintext off/ON (applies to digest only)
Needs a cookie file for access. Vulnerable to formatting changes in the web page output, of course.
I actually have something to take that output as input and "make it so". But with at least one bug. (Omitted option letters are turned off, not left unchanged).
But my main goal was to monitor changes, especially "nomail", and the email address which was supposed to conform to a standard.
Though the "make it so" script is actually used for doing remote (web) subscriptions, setting desired options and a standard name field.
And much later I realized that that output includes only some of the options available to the user on the user options page.
https://SERVER/mailman/options/LISTNAME
I guess you're talking about running the command on the server? I don't know if you want to contemplate something like my "ls gone a little crazy", or not.
