MoinMoin: ScriptMarket/AutomatedRollback

This is just for the case somebody nasty is doing major damage to your wiki and you have to automatically rollback to a specific point in history. Only works for moin < v1.3, not for moin >= 1.3.

# wikitimewarp MMDDhhmm[.ss]
# bring back the wiki state of month MM day DD time hh:mm:ss
# you must be in the "data" directory of your wiki, seeing "text" and "backup"
 
# only show source and destination of copy command:
CMD="ls -l"
#activate this if you are really sure what you are doing!:
#CMD="cp -f"
 
TIMESTAMP=/tmp/timestamp.$$
echo Time warping Wiki to Time: $1
touch -t $1 $TIMESTAMP && \
find text -newer $TIMESTAMP -type f | \
  sed "s,^text/\(.*\)$,find backup \! -newer $TIMESTAMP -name \1.* | sort | tail -1,g" | \
  sh - | \
  sed "s,^backup/\([^.]*\)\(\.[0-9]*\),$CMD backup/\1\2 text/\1,g" | \
  sh -

The above script doesn't change anything in your wiki until you remove the comment sign in front of that CMD="cp -f". Please review what it would do before accidentally rolling back your wiki in some bad way.

Here is another rollback script in Python.
