password aging script in trusted systems

[Sri123]

Hi,

I just got this script in one of the threads, for password expiry notification.

I would like to know what current_time has to be set, as i am getting error in my script.


USER=someusername
exp=$(logins -x -l $USER | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}')
((exp_time = exp * 86400))
last_change=$(grep u_succhg /tcb/files/auth/$U/$USER | \
awk -F "u_succhg#" ' {print $2}' |\
awk -F ":" ' {print $1}' )

((exp_date = last_change + exp_time))
((time_left = exp_date - current_time))
((days_left = time_left / 86400))



Script returns,

ofadr-6CPU@DB>./passwdexp1.sh
./passwdexp1.sh[24]: 15:09:03: Syntax error

Attached is the actual script that i run.

Hi,

Looks like an aritmetic operator is trying to use the "15:09:03" value. Try execute it again ussing the trace option, is useful to debug:
ofadr-6CPU@DB>sh -x passwdexp1.sh

Waiting for your next post.

Rgds.

Attached is the output. Looks like a same error.

Before the IF statement show the value of $days_left variable (echo $days_left).

Also suggest you an echo of all variables belonging at formulas previous the IF.

Then run it again with debug option.

Hi,

Previous post is just for debuging...

Figured it out!! Attached is the script which works fine, but it requires perl to be installed in the system.
