Script to notify users of large file that are about ot be deleted

[blues77]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me write a script that should check the entire filesystem from root for any files that are over 100 MB in size and sends a warning message to the owners of these files. Also would like to know how I could write a script that would give a user "Hello" message everytime they log in.

Any and all help is appreciated!
Mike

1) man find
man ls
man mail
2) man yourshell (the profile section)
man echo

Hope This Helps, PH.

Would the 'Hello' message be the same for all users? If so, that's what /etc/motd is for. If not, as PHV say's you can include a degree of personalisation into the .profile. Something like echo "Hello "$LOGNAME". Now get on with some work!" might be an option!
