Registered User

Got it! Here is the correct code. Still needs some efficiency put into it but it will work for the time being.

Code:

#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
# Alertme.p1 program, version 0.7
# Author - Clint Sharp
# This program is interactive and will alert the user
# if they are online at more than one terminal. It will also mail the
# user at the mail address associated with the user id.
mkdir ~/Msgs
echo "\nEnter your reminder message.
When finished, enter a period (.) at
the beginning of a line and press <ENTER>.
(Or press Ctrl-C to exit the script)\n"
while :
do
    read MESSAGE
    if [ "$MESSAGE" = "." ]
    then
        break
    else
        echo $MESSAGE >> ~/Msgs/message.$$
    fi
done
echo "\nEnter the time and day you want to
receive the message, for example:
0815am Jun 14
8:15am Jun 14
now + 1 day
5 pm Friday
8:15am 6/14/2011
Then press <ENTER>\n"
read TIME
echo "\nAt $TIME mail or write $LOGNAME ~/Msgs/message.$$\n"
at -k $TIME << EOF
if ! who | grep ^$LOGNAME > /dev/null; then
mail $LOGNAME < ~/Msgs/message.$$
fi
if [ `who | grep -c "$LOGNAME"` -gt 0 ]; then
who | cut -c1-20 | grep $LOGNAME | cut -c12-20 | while read LINE
#while read inputline
do
    write $LOGNAME \$LINE < ~/Msgs/message.$$ > /dev/null 2>&1
done
fi
rm -r ~/Msgs

exit 0
EOF

lmfsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lmfsetup(8)

Name
lmfsetup - License Management Facility PAK registration script

Syntax
/etc/lmfsetup [ template ]

Description
The script allows you to register data supplied by a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The script prompts you for the data associated with
each of the fields on a PAK. When all the data has been entered, the License Management Facility (LMF) ensures there are entries against
all the mandatory fields, and that the Checksum validates all the license data. If the data has been entered correctly, the PAK is regis-
tered in the License Database. If the data has been entered incorrectly, the appropriate error message is displayed and you are given the
opportunity to re-enter the data.

The template option allows you to register license data from templates in A template containing a partially complete PAK is created by some
products as part of their installation process. The script only prompts you for data on the fields that are empty in the template. If the
script cannot find the specified template in it searches the current directory.

The script is provided as an alternative to the command. This displays a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an
editor so that you can add the license data to the appropriate field. The command also allows errors to be corrected without having to re-
enter all the data.
