I believe you need someone with a bit more AIX experience than I have (especially since it's been years since I have been on one) but the concept should be the same.
Find your secure password file (try /etc/security/passwd) and look for the lastupdate field.
You should be able to grab out the info from the lastupdate field and using Perl figure out when it will expire.
Check out the info at
IBM - password security for more info. Also, you might be able to use some of the information from an old post
perl script - changing password
The easy solution is to put a "Hit return to start menu" so they can read any info that may be there before you put the menu out to their screen.
