Hello,

I have wrote one a few years ago which might suit your needs. It is in 
the maintenance directory and would need a shell access to run:

    maintenance/userOptions.php --usage

On my development Wiki the output is:

   Usage for <ccmeonemails> (default: '0'):
    1 user(s): '1'

   Done.

cheers,
