Hi All, I agree with what ahsiangsiang posted, except I would ask the question whether it's all in the local network, or access from the Internet. If local network only, access to files via SAMBA will be fine. But if it's going to be accessible externally (say your staff from home) then I would be suggesting access via FTP. Regarding the auto-delete function, yes just a script using the 'find' command to find all files with for example "mp3" in the name, or find files of a certain size, and then delete them. FINDING FILE BY EXTENSION: find -name '*.mp3' -print (except if you want to delete, put -delete instead of -print) FINDING FILE BY SIZE find -size 50M -print (but the problem is it only finds files EXACTLY 50MB in size) Do a 'man find' for more options on find :) The only hard bit is going to be emailing the user .... but I guess another script that looks at each user's directory twice a day or something, and emails them a directory listing would be the easiest way. Best of luck! Cheers Callan -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
