Archive-Name: core_notice

We run this script weekly.
It will need minor tweaking for other sites, but it's not really
BSD or USG dependent.

sed -e 's/^X//' >core_notice <<'END'

X##  Script to find old core, etc., files and send mail to their owners.
X##  It assumes your find has the "-xdev" option to not cross mount
X##  points.  It would like to use System V "xargs" command, but can
X##  use the BSD "fmt" command as a hack, instead.  Also check the mail
X##  commands, below.
X##
X##  The file core_errs will contain any errors; core_ls will be the full
X##  list of old and bogus files.
X##
X
X##  Setup.
Xcd /usr/adm
XPATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin
XHOST=`hostname`
Xrm -f core_ls core_errs core_unknown
X
X##  If first argument is "-i" then we're interactive.
Xif [ "x$1" = "x-i" ] ; then
X    shift
Xelse
X    exec 2>core_errs
Xfi
X
X##  Optional next argument is how old files should be before we complain.
XAGE=${1-5}
X
X##  Cute trick to get list of directly-mounted filesystems, only.
XFILESYSTEMS=`df | awk '$1 ~ /^\/dev\// {print $6}'`
X
X##  You might want to tweak the predicates in here.
Xfind ${FILESYSTEMS} \( \

X##  Unlikely, but maybe we didn't find anything.
Xif [ ! -s core_ls ]; then

X##  Assuming a standard "ls", third field is the users.  Loop over list
X##  of all badguys.  The funky grep commands ignore filenames; be careful
X##  if your "ls -l" uses tabs.
