Hello
 I like to make an accumulo commands file to create users. Something like "createuser hello -s low" But "createuser" command does not have an option to provide user password. The script will stop and prompt me for the new user password. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

You could redirect input from a file.

echo password_file | cbshell -f command_file  seems to work.  any better solutions?
I am not a programmer so I am not going to try the java option but thanks.

Using the Java API through JRuby or Jython would be another option. With
Jython, that would look something like this:

> export
JYTHONPATH=$ACCUMULO_HOM/lib/accumulo-core-1.4.2.jar:$ACCUMULO_HOME/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar:$ZOOKEEPER_HOME/zookeeper-*.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-core-1.0.3.jar:$ACCUMULO_HOME/lib/libthrift-0.6.1.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.4.3.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/lib/slf4j-api-1.4.3.jar:$ACCUMULO_HOME/lib/cloudtrace-1.4.2.jar
> jython adduser.jython

____contents of adduser.jython_____
import java
from org.apache.accumulo.core.client import ZooKeeperInstance
from org.apache.accumulo.core.security import Authorizations
from org.python.core.util import StringUtil
inst = ZooKeeperInstance("instanceName","localhost")
conn = inst.getConnector("root","password")
conn.securityOperations().createUser("foo",StringUtil.toBytes("bar"),Authorizations())
Cheers,

Alternatively, you could write a utility using the java API
