Hey, all - I'm attempting to write a script to put in cron.weekly that will find the 25 users who use the most disk space and email them a warning.
My relatively simple question is: Is there anything in bash that is the equivelent to the old basic mid/left/right way of cutting down a variable? If I have a line from the du output, basically I'm trying to define a variable for the corresponding username (in other words, given: "1234M /home/USER" I want 'USER" so as to then turn around and email that user. (I already have way of removing non-user directories in /home). Any thoughts? Oh, and this is fora RH7.2 system and really does not need to be all that portable.
