Help with a script 1

[rejohn]

I would like to write a script involving 'stat', 'epoch' to find out how many users and who haven't touched their accounts in 24 months.

OK, what have you got so far?

 

[rejohn]

lastlog -t 365 | awk '{print $1}' | tail +2 | sort > /tmp/last12mo.$$.tmp

cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd | sort > /tmp/allusers.$$.tmp

echo "The following users haven't logged in for more than 12 months"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
comm -13 /tmp/last12mo.$$.tmp /tmp/allusers.$$.tmp

rm /tmp/*.$$.tmp

could you use something like this?

find /path_to_files -mtime -365 -maxdepth 1 -type f

i may well be barking up the wrong tree though...

Kind Regards

are you asking how to write it in perl or as a Unix shell script?

 

[rejohn]

I was thinking along the lines of a perl script, but I more comfortable with shell scripts...

I have a list of user accounts in a file and I want to run finger against that file and sort them the "Mail last read" field. How would a perl script look for something like that?
