[afnog] retrieve user account

[JONAS MARTIN]

Thank Everybody for the help.

I finally write a simple shell script  which fits my need. 
The script, saved in a file named 'test',  is  : 

{ while IFS=':' read  login passwd uid gid name home bash; do
   if [ $uid -gt  1000 ]
   then
        lastlog="Never"
        lastmsg="Never"
        inboxsize="0"
      if [ -e  /var/mail/$login ]
      then
        lastlog=`stat -c %x /var/mail/$login | cut -d'.' -f1`
        lastmsg=`stat -c %y /var/mail/$login | cut -d'.' -f1`
        inboxsize=`du -sh /var/mail/$login | cut  -f1`
        homesize=`du -sh /home/$login | cut  -f1`
     fi
   echo "$login;$name;$lastlog;$lastmsg;$inboxsize;$homesize" >> result3
   fi
done ; }

I just execute it by running in the directory where the file is :
 ./test5 < /etc/passwd 2&> toto

The script has taken less 5 mn to complete.  We thought that it would take more
than 2 hours Before, to get  this information on our servers running on
Windows.

Best Regards
