...Since it's christmas time I might share one whish?
I wonder if anyone has heard of some bash script that do one or all of the following:
1. Scan the file system for multiple instances of a filename belongning to the same user (but in different locations) and, if found, create a report of that and mail this to the user and admin.
2. Scan the file system for files older tyhan a certain time (for instance older than 12 months) and send a report of this to the file owner.
...The reasons for my question is that:
1. Many users tend to save the same files in their home directories as well as in certain i-bays, and the larger and mor complex the structure becomes, the harder is the situation for the user and the administrator to control this.
2. Many users tend to "forget" their old files and they just never remove them or move them to some påre appropriate place (cd for instance)
(I realize that this wouldn't be impossible at all to create, but if someone else already has done it, -what would be the pointof inventing the wheel again?)
