whack

A perl script that looks in the /etc/passwd file and from there checks who has a web directory. The cool thing is that it creates an alphabetized HTML file of all users with a web directory that is saved your current directory. There is also an option to mail to everyone about the newly created page.

1. Download whack:
   • get whack
2. You will probably need to change the following (with any text editor):
   • The first line (it should point to your perl executable)
     #!/usr/local/bin/perl
   • Your site's domain (line 8)
     $site="www.seas.ucla.edu";
   • The location of your srm.conf file (line 52)
     $SRM="/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf";
3. Make sure the script is executable:
   • % chmod 755 whack
4. Look at the options:
   • % whack -h
