Hi santosh,

If you have pasted the following:

| > /bin/awk -F: '$3 > 100 { print $1"@yourdomain.com" }' /etc/passwd >
| /path-to-dir/allusers


in you crontab (crontab -e), then its not going to work as you did not mention
the time.

You have do it exactly like following:

0 6 * * * /bin/awk -F: '$3 > 100 { print $1"@yourdomain.com" }' /etc/passwd 
>/path-to-dir/allusers

When you enter 'crontab -e' in your command prompt, it will take you to vi
editor, press 'i' (without the inverted commas), then paste the above line and
then press this key combination: ':wq' (again without the inverted commas) and
press enter. :)

If you make any mistakes and it does not work, you should get email about it in
your root's mailbox. By the way, the time is 6 am not 6 pm.

Please consult the man pages for 'crontab' and 'vi' for more information.

Regards,
