@Joseph TKLee: Thank you for such a quick response. I created this script.. err rather copied it.. in my bin directory, which is completely empty, save for this script. I am going out on a limb here but I am guessing my directory should have a list of users somewhere inside in order for it to work properly? (apologies.. I am about as new to this as it gets.)

You will get an idea what it is meant to do.

Cheers,
