ftp selected jpeg files from unix filesystem

Hi All

We have hp-ux 11iv1 system running with oracle8i database.

We have around 350,000 users, each user uploaded their own signatures and are stored in unix filesystems department wise.

A database is maintained to keep their particulars with a path to link their signature files.

Now many users quit or replaced thus their account became inactive. New users added with new signatures. But old signatures are remaining in filesystems which are eating up lot of our precious disk spaces.

I am trying to write a ftp program which will first check database for the users status, if found inactive then ftp the corresponding signature files in the specified location.

Note that signature file names and user account number are identical.

I only managed to identify the signatures of the inactive users using a shell script but dont have any experience how to identify the inactive users and ftp their signatures from different folders in one go.

Thanks in advance for any help.

local-filesystems

local-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				      local-filesystems(7)

NAME

       local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  local-filesystems  event  is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated.	Remember that some
       users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on local-filesystems
