Try something like this (I have not tested):

# Not logged in days
NOT_LOGGED_DAYS=90

# Get NOT_LOGGED_SEC seconds

NOT_LOGGED_SEC=`date --date "$NOT_LOGGED_IN days ago" +%s`

# Last logged

LAST_LOGGED=`date --date "$(last -1 $1 | grep -v begins | awk '{ print $4,$5 }')" +%s`

if [ $LAST_LOGGED -lt NOT_LOGGED_SEC ]; then
echo "The user $1 did not logged in $NOT_LOGGED_DAYS days"
else
echo "This user is not a dormitant user"
fi

Usage:

script_name username

Hi Ivan

Thanks for your response.
I dont want to do it one by one.
I need a script that compares /etc/passwd and logins output and shows those users who have not logged in since 90 days..
Thanks

Here is a perl script that will list the 'last' info for all users. From this list you can decipher who has/has not logged in for last 90 days.

You could pipe this output through sort, or include the perl code to sort, to get your requested info.

Hi Rick

The script is great!!!
just wonder if it could show the year of login as well i.e whether it was 2005 or 2006

Human Nature: Always demanding!!

last does not display the year so some sort of rotation scheme (of the wtmp file) is necessary to prevent the overlap of months
