Hi Guys,

I hope one of you has already done this and is kind enough to share your script with me.

I have a Solaris8 server that uses password aging for its local user accounts. I need a script that checks the age of the password and then sends the user an email if the password is about to expire. It needs to send an email when the password will expire in 10 days then it needs to send a second email when there is 5 days left before it expires. It also needs to send an email to an admin account if a password has already expired, including the root password.

Thanks...

Thanks for that, I think I should be able to use it in a script to do what I want.

For anyone that might be interested in doing the same thing.. Here is my script

#! /bin/sh
#
# Goran Cvetanoski - 19/12/2006
#
# pwage
#
# This script works out the time left before a password expires
#
# It will send a reminder email 10 days and 3 days before the password
# will expire. The email will go to unix.admin@mydomain.com.au unless an
# alternate email address is specified. An email will also be sent if a
# password has expired.
#
# The following command will send results to unix.admin@mydomain.com.au
# pwage oracle
#
# Specify an alternate email address if you would like the results to be
# sent to a different email address.
# ie:
# pwage oracle oracledba@mydomain.com.au
#
#
# CHANGE LOG
