put <filename> upload script to server.

get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

delete <name> delete script.

activate <name> activate script.

deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

•   -u user, --user=user The user whose mailboxes you want to work on. If not specified, it uses the same as -a.

•   -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication. If not specified, it defaults to the current login user.

•   -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in.

•   -p password, --password=password The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution!

•   -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.

•   -f file, --execfile=file Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
