NAME

fritz - fritz, der Dateibaumspion

SYNOPSYS

fritz [--longjobs|-l] [--mail|-m] [--kde|-k] [--qmail2postfix|-q] [user] ...

DESCRIPTION

fritz, der Dateibaumspion is looking in some users homedirectories to silently correct settings (permissions on files and directories, qmail mailspool, ACLs, ...) and delete junk as old netscape cache files, old core dumps,... . He also readjusts web browsers to store cache in /tmp/username. fritz warns if users stack lots of unread or uncategorized mail in ~/Mailbox or ~/mbox and marks users which have not used their account for some time. fritz also warns users using more than 95 percent of their personal disk quotas.

If fritz is called with usernames, he acts only on these users homedirectories, otherwise fritz iterates over every user.

Since fritz muddles in users homedirectories, please review his code before use. fritz needs unlimited access to homedirectories; it should run under userid 0 on conventional unix systems and needs an admin token when working on homedirectories in AFS.

OPTIONS

-?, --help, --man

show a short help screen or the manual page

-l, --longjobs

Normally tasks wich may require a long runtime like searches for core dumps in home directories are not performed; turning --longjobs on also runs these routines.

-m, --mail

Send mail with warnings to users. ## TODO ##: Currently no mail is sent to users at all.

-k, --kde

Update KDE configuration (~/.kde/) from /etc/skel/ if the user has KDE configured.

-q, --qmail2postfix

Convert QMails user defined mail aliases (~/.qmail and ~/.qmail-*) to PostFix and Sendmail compatible aliases (~/.forward and ~/.forward+*).

ACTIONS

Check quota and warn if it exceeds a configured treshold
Check permissions on homedirectory and important files: ~/.netrc, ~/.ssh/* ... Try to find out the time of last login via acces times on ~/.history and ~/.bash_history and friends.
Check permissions, size and access times for directories and files important to mail delivery: ~, ~/Mailbox, ~/mbox, ~/INBOX, ~/.qmail
Update KDE configuration if requested
Delete obsolete dotfiles and directories like .sawfish or .winprofile
Delete Trash files; delete old cache files from netscape, mozilla, galeon and opera and set their new cache directoy to /tmp/... and a reasonable size of 10 MBytes. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH OPERA?
Delete old core dumps (only when called with option 'longjobs').
Set certain ACL entries if user is on AFS: ~/... <user> all (only longjobs) ~/ mail write ~/ system:anyuser lookup (at most) ~/public_html admin:www read ~/Public system:anyuser read ~/public system:anyuser read
If requested, convert QMails user defined mail aliases (~/.qmail and ~/.qmail-*) to PostFix and Sendmail compatible aliases (~/.forward and ~/.forward+*). Be careful to call vacation the right way.
