You can use a tool called expect to automate things like this.
Try this:
[darron@xavier darron]$ autoexpect cyradm localhost
autoexpect started, file is script.exp
Please enter your password:
localhost.localdomain> lm
INBOX INBOX.admin INBOX.logs INBOX.tech
INBOX.Sent INBOX.educ8r INBOX.mwj INBOX.test2
INBOX.Trash INBOX.linux INBOX.sutjav
localhost.localdomain> quit
autoexpect done, file is script.exp
Take a look at script.exp - it's a complete copy of everything you've done
and can be modified to do whatever you want it to do.
I've got an expect script that automatically creates the mailbox, sets
permissions on it properly and sets a quota - it works great for us.
