I have a script that triggers an reminder e-mail two weeks in advance which will remind the recipient to do a particular task. The problem with this script is, it sends the reminder e-mail 2 weeks before & it send the reminder e-mail only once. It by no means have a logic/functionality to check whether the end user have completed the task or not.
Any idea how can I implement the functionality of tracking the reminder?
I am not stuck only with ksh. Any script that can ease this logic will do good for me. Also, is having a GUI for such task is mandatory? I prefer to do it all in the background. Any ideas or guidance?

Any idea people?? So, using GUI is the only way? I mean having a GUI front end to let the user update the status of the reminder. And, having a background php script to do the job of checking the status of a task and decide whether to send the reminder for a task or not? Is this the only available solution? Are there any scripts existing already to do this job?
How can you know the end user have completed the task by shell? Any command can be used for that?
Yeah you are correct. I do not think we can use any script to know whether the end user has done his task. I have now decided to go with VBA+excel for automating this thing. Like when a user updates a cell with Y/N. Thanks for your reply and time
I've tried to see what I can find on my own but I'm coming up with goose eggs. Basically I was wondering if there was a way of querying the scheduler (or something similar) to track a process back to a particular CPU it's executing on at the time of the command. ps has a "cpu" output option but...

Hi,

Is there any way I can track the commands run by users from the shell prompt?
Example:
Somebody is deleting files from the system. Who it is is a mystery. That person obviously does not use bash prompt so there is no history. Is there anyway I can find out who... (5 Replies)
