Normally an AutoSite is generated from a browser-based interface - either a 'real' site from the admin console (admin.pl) or a 'trial' site which can be autogenerated from the demo (try.pl) by a user without administrative intervention. (This latter type of site is not intended to be permanent and the user has no choice over its location - it is simply to demo the functionality to prospective users, but a site generated like this can be converted to a real site by admin).
 
The browser-based interface is fine for generating individual sites, but where a large number of sites are to be generated this method would be quite slow.
 
For this purpose we supply a command-line site generator - admin2.pl. This can either be used directly at the command prompt - or slaved to another process provided by the administrative user.
 
USAGE:
perl admin2.pl UniqueID Fullpath FullURL DesignName  "Site Name" Password PageLimit(digit - optional)
 
Notes:
1. Instead of the DesignName you can supply UserSelect. When the user accesses the site admin for the first time they will be taken  to a design selection module (sitesel.pl) where they can choose their design from pictured and demoed examples (as in try.pl)
2. By default admin2.pl provides prompts and confirmations during site creation. These should be disabled if it is to be slaved to another process - alternatively we can disable prompts for you
