[rt-users] RT cli tool diffculty with bulk steal

[Jaye Mathisen]

./rt -i ls owner=usera | sed -e 's/ticket\///' | xargs -L 1 ./rt steal

or somesuch should get you close.

Might have to check your documentation for xargs to tell it how to only 
run 1 command at a time, I think it varies between linux and BSD.
