[EP-tech] How can i delete thousands of fake users?
Hi Christian,
You could just add all the user IDs one after another to the delete_user
script:
./delete_user REPO_ID `for ((x=5; x<=25590; x++)); { echo -n "$x "; }`
However, I suspect that command may be too long for bash (i.e. your
shell).? You could use xargs but you probably don't want to call the
delete_user script 25000+ times, as this will be slow compared to
calling it just a few times with multiple arguments. So it may be better
to write a bash script that passes 1000 user IDs at a time:
#!/bin/bash
for ((i=5;? i<=25590; i=i+1000)); do
? ./delete_user REPO_ID `for ((j=i; j<i+1000 && j<=25590; j++)); { echo
-n "$j "; }`
done
Regards
