[LON-CAPA-admin] Multiple Domain Coordinator Accounts - Potential Issues?

[Stuart Raeburn]

Hi,

There was a bug in the version of this script (rev. 1.2) included with  
LON-CAPA 2.10.1, which is fixed in 2.11.0 (released June 2014) which  
included rev. 1.5 of expire_DC_role.pl.

As loncapa.purdue.edu is running 2.10.1, you should get version 1.3 of  
expire_DC_role.pl from the LON-CAPA CVS repository, and use that.

wget -O expire_DC_role.pl  
http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/build/expire_DC_role.pl?rev=1.3;content-type=text/plain'
