To admin + users

What I’ve done:

• The script searches for all users who have been in the “pending approval” status for more than the specified number of days (provided via the command argument).
• It sends an email to each affected user and a single summary email to the admin, listing all the users who were deleted.

Key Details:

• This is a Node.js script rather than a Bash script, as it leverages maisrv functions to send emails.

• To run the script, you’ll need to set the NODE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to point to the configuration directory:

  export NODE_CONFIG_DIR=path/to/config

• Usage: To run the script manually, use the following command:

  node delete_pending_email_approvals.js --days 30

• Scheduling: You can also schedule this script using cron. For example, to run it every minute:

  * * * * * /path/to/node /path/to/delete_pending_email_approvals.js --days 30
