Re: shell script help

I have half an answer for you.   I put in a test at the bottom of my .profile for when I log in.  It is not perfect.  It is far from secure.  The program does not walk on water, or turn water into wine.   It uses basic perl. 

 

Best of all.  It works for me.  It warns me if my password is close to expiring.

The missing part of your request?  The email you want.

 

The main key to this is the /usr/bin/passwd  -r files -s unix_login_name_here

 

So if my unix login is Billy_bobby_billy_bo_bob, I run

/usr/bin/passwd -r file -s Billy_bobby_billy_bo_bob.

 

The 86400 is 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours.  I.e. number of seconds per day.

($T_sec,$T_min,$T_hour,$T_day,$T_mon,$T_year,@junk ) = localtime($T_epoch);
$T_mon = $T_mon + 1;
