Notification of password expiry.
Hi,
Is there any way of sending an email to a number of users indicating that the passwords of user accounts will expire?
Currently we have a test server with a number of oracle test accounts on it. Each of these accounts correspond to an instance of Oracle on the server. These accounts would have cron entries for running scripts etc. When the password expires the cron entries do not run anymore.
I need to be able to notify the DBAs of impending password expiration on these accounts by sending an automated email to them so they can change them. Is there any way to do that? Thank you.

grab-account
GRAB-ACCOUNT(8) chiark utilities GRAB-ACCOUNT(8)
NAME
grab-account - add new account synchronised to remote system
SYNOPSIS
grab-account local-user source [remote-user]
DESCRIPTION
grab-account reconfigures sync-accounts to start synchronising a specified local user (which may not yet exist) from a specified remote
system, and then invokes sync-accounts once to synchronise from that source.
/etc/sync-accounts/createuser should contain a addhere line in the appropriate source section (ie, after host source). grab-account adds a
user local-user [remote=remote-user]
directive just before addhere and runs sync-accounts source.
EXIT STATUS
0 All went well.
any other
There were problems.
FILES
/etc/sync-accounts; See also sync-accounts(8).
ENVIRONMENT
See sync-accounts(8).
BUGS
There is no locking of /etc/sync-accounts so do not invoke grab-account from a script, or more than once at a time by hand. Do not edit
/etc/sync-accounts by hand and also simultaneously run grab-account.
The mechanism involving addhere is suboptimal. This should be done with an include feature in sync-accounts, so that grab-account does not
have to edit a configuration file that really belongs to the sysadmin.
