Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I have the following script which check the users in my server & set them from { 0:0:1 } to { 0:0:0 } which mean their subscription expire. I made it with respect to date that on due date it expire the clients.
format of the clients line is like this.

F: test test 0 0 1 { 0:0:1 } ##19-03-2011

My script is working 100% but i want it to give me a reminder as well that before a user expire I get the alert 7 days ago before it expire in the form of a text file in Var/Config. any help will be appreciated a lot. I am confuse how to -7 days from the script so it work for me. Plz edit my script & help me

Unfortunately Unix doesnt have this facility to calculate dates using a command. But I have came across a script which might be useful.

http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/4870-days-elapsed-between-2-dates.html\#post16559

Hope that does the job for you.

What Operating System and version are you using?
Do you have the GNU version of the date command?

No changes, just a re-post of your script with indentation which I can follow:

I am using Ubuntu 10.10

Can you change the date format from 19-03-2011 to 20110319?

with GNU date, you can get the date that 7 days later.

d=$(date -d "+7 days " +%Y%m%d)

So compare the var d with the user's expire day, if it is less, then you can send alert mail.

7

This should do it:

d=$(date -d +7days +%d-%m-%Y) 
fgrep "##$d" $TARGET1/$FILE1 | while read f client rest
do
    echo "Warning client $client will expire on $d" >> $TARGET2/expire_soon.txt
done

Can u change the whole script for me add this thing in the script so that i need to change only date in servers for my clients nothing else need to be changed
