Hi, can we have a list of all the accounts that expired in the Big Catastrophic Deadline of the 6th (and have no redirects to other places, maybe)? We're bound to have hundreds of dead tools in this moment and I'd like to avoid chasing them individually.

P.s.: Thanks erwin for renewing the account! Those tools are crucial for stewards. But he still needs help, only 3/14 work on Labs without major changes. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Erwin#Tool_Labs

You can do so yourself:
| timl@willow:~$ date2days $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | 16083 | timl@willow:~$ ldapsearch -h ldap -b o=unix,o=toolserver '(&(objectclass=posixaccount)(shadowexpire<=16083)(!(shadowexpire=16083)))' uid | | > sed -ne 's/^uid: //p;' | [...]
However, I don't think that's a useful approach. If there are tools in use, and someone complains about them no longer working or their URLs get hammered in the httpd logs, resur- rect them for sure; if not, let them rest in peace.
There's a lot to be done for tools that are /actually/ in demand; no need to spend time on ones that clearly aren't.

Thanks, Tim. That gives me 558 usernames, a bit too much: I'd probably need to filter out the accounts which had already expired (much) earlier. Focusing on what there's demand for is what I intend to do, but I have dozens of tools in my bookmarks and more listed on wiki pages they relate to, listing and checking them one by one constantly is annoying.
