script that reads a value and send an email on 89th day
hi all,

Currently in my system a user's password expires after 90 days and the last passsword change time is stored in an attribute pwdchange date. i need a linux script that read this attribute and add 89 days and send an email that the user password is expiring the next day.

i can store this attribute value in a text file on the linux server. i need a script that reads the value from this text file and compare the current date and apply the rule and send an email.

any inputs will be of great help.
