I'm not sure how passwd -l works
This option does n't exists in AIX.
I'm not sure whether passwd -l is interactive.

Following is NOT TESTED. But you can follow on these lines.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

>TERMED

while read user
do

    grep "$user" /etc/passwd
    if test $? -eq 0
    then
       # do what you want to do ... run passwd -l ....
       if test $? -eq 0
       then
            echo "Locking user $user on `date` "  >> TERMED
       else
            echo "PROBLEM in Locking user $user on `date` "  >> TERMED
        fi
    fi

done < /etc/seeya

# send mail using TERMED file

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.
