how can set notification to user about their password expiration on HP-UX 11.23

Hi,

We have HP-UX 11.23 system with trusted mode.
Password expiration date 90 days.

Could any one help us to set password expiration notification to user?

Thanks

Check with
#logins -a

about users expiration and send an email or notification.

We don't even bother being that courteous.

Got management to approve policy for the following.

We exclude some users such as root, oracle and create custom (manual) processes to change/secure those passwords. Working closely with respective groups.

For all "normal" users. Use passwd -f to force users to change their passwords upon next login.

In parallel an email goes out a day or two before reminding them that this will be done as per XYZ regulation.

So cron the email.
And cron the force password change.

And if someone complains you send them an email quoting the policy.

Admittedly not popular at first. But they get used to it.
The Devil is in the detail.
