Hi all,

Some of my webmail users are using lots of disk space.

I want to make a shell script, like so:

cd /home/webmail/public_html/cgi-bin/etc/users ; du -h -d1 | grep M | =
sort -nr -k1

and run it daily in a cronjob, mailing the results to my assistants.

with the 'cd' at that start of the script have any adverse affect on the =
rest of the system or cronjobs? OK, will the scripot just complete and =
exit, with the 'cd' having no affect?

-Grant
