Hi Christian,
In the comment at the top of https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fjesusbagpuss%2Fd5fa10ef3915e036f0eb24b4a2ad019f&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Cb9ea98ea58dd407dc25e08dadd1bcf0e%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638065409241643324%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XIp2Y8cXcdPzZEMRKaDeKBVV7wQceCdQr0sVztSqtgQ%3D&reserved=0 it says you may need to change the FindBin path on line 52 if you do not put the script at:
[EPRINTS_ROOT]/bin/local/delete_user
I would advise creating a local directory under your current [EPRINTS_ROOT]/bin/ directory and moving the delete_user script there before re-running the command.

Note xargs takes care of any limits opposed by the kernel concerning command line length. `xargs -a fake_users_ids.txt bin/delete_user REPOID` should do all fine.

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
