Good day,
I have a script on each machine on our network that will say the computer name and the number of updates needed. Then the script will send a file via scp to a network share with the title hostname.local

The contents of the file would be: hostname N (with N being the number of updates needed for that machine) If there are no updates available then it will just show the hostname.

So the network share will end up with a bunch of files called hostname1.local, hostname2.local, etc.. Each file with this type of data.

I need a script to look at all the hostnameX.local files on the share, and to add up all the updates together. Then to email the results to bob@email.com It should actually say the number of machines requiring updates and the total number of updates.

Thanks!
