    Hello,

    I am searching for a basic script (or how to script) for the command uptime to notify me via email when a system has been online for more than 90 days.

    Here is a very basic script. Test, modify, and run from crontabs.

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    days_to_email=90
    uptime | uptimeLine=$(line)
    set $uptimeLine
    days=$3

    email_list="user@domain"
    if [ $days -gt $days_to_email ]; then
    cat <<- EOF | mailx -s "Overdue reboot on $(hostname)" $email_list
    Hi from root on $(hostname),

    The uptime command shows: $uptimeLine

    It may be time for a reboot?
    EOF
    fi
