Hi,

I need a bash script to do the following:

A list of currently running proccess's owned by root!
Amount of time the machine has been up and load average
List of all used and unused space on OS partition
List of all users online(on machine)
Also if the HD space is below 5% then email send an email to a specified email address or default with date, and username of person who executed this script!

Then it needs to put all of this into an email and email to an inputted email address and if not entered email to a defualt email address.

Anyone give me any idea of what to do? PLEASE

THANKS

anyone!!!

well, if it's being run as root, the ps will give you a list of proccesses being run

uptime will give you the uptime of the machine

not sure about load average or freespace, but i know you can

who will list users, but what you want is probably finger @computername

use something like this:

#!/path/to/sh
sendmail -t<<EOF
echo "To: $1"
echo "From: root"
echo "Subject: Status"
echo "Proccess:"
echo `/path/to/ps`
echo `/path/to/uptime`
echo `/path/to/finger @`/path/to/localhost``
EOF

call like this

scriptname emailaddress

ps will work no matter what user you are.

correct, but it will only list the proccess of the current user if called with no options, i don't know what the options are to list proccess for a specific user

chers fellas but what if we dont run sendmail?
Or any mail client i.e howabout if i just want to mail to another user!

And nope it wont be run as administrator?

And b4 you ask no it's not for any college assignemnt!
It's for work and i'm still learning all this stuff!

how do you send your mail then??

without sendmail, you have to talk directly to SMTP server(s).

and i doubt your entire company knows the SMTP protocol like that back of their hand

Something like

"mail" i heard perhaps i'm confused??

Most unix systems will have sendmail
