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.

slocate
SLOCATE(1) General Commands Manual SLOCATE(1)
NAME
slocate - Security Enhanced version of the GNU Locate
SYNOPSIS
slocate [-qi] [-d <path>] [--database=<path>] <search string>
slocate [-i] [-r <regexp>] [--regexp=<regexp>]
slocate [-qv] [-o <file>] [--output=<file>]
slocate [-e <dir1,dir2,...>] [-f <fstype1,...>] <[-l <level>] [-c] <[-U <path>] [-u]>
slocate [-Vh] [--version] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for files on your system. It uses incremental encoding just like GNU
locate to compress its database to make searching faster, but it will also store file permissions and ownership so that users will not see
files they do not have access to.
This manual page documents the GNU version of slocate. slocate Enables system users to search entire filesystems without displaying
unauthorized files.
OPTIONS
-u Create slocate database starting at path /.
-U <dir>
Create slocate database starting at path <dir>.
-e <dir1,dir2,...>
Exclude directories from the slocate database.
-f <fstype1,...>
Exclude files on specific file systems from the slocate database.
-c Parse '/etc/updatedb.conf' when updating the slocate database.
-l <level>
Security level. 0 turns security checks off. This will make searchs faster. 1 turns security checks on. This is the default.
-i Does a case insensitive search.
-q Quiet mode. Error messages are suppressed.
-n <num>
Limit the amount of results shown to <num>.
-r <regexp>
--regexp=<regexp> Search the database using a basic POSIX regular expression.
-o <file>
--output=<file> Specifies the database to create.
-d <path>
--database=<path> Specifies the path of databases to search in.
-h --help Display this help.
-v --verbose Verbose mode. Display files when creating database.
-V --version Display version.
