Greetings, space hog.  You've got some bad stuff out there - please
clean it out!    Here's the list:

ENDEND

cat > find.and.notify.hogs <<ENDEND
#!/bin/bash
find /home -size +100000 -xdev -printf <etc>' | sort > /tmp/fanh.$$
cat /tmp/fanh.$$ >> space.hog.notice

for u in `awk '{print $1}' /tmp/fanh.$$ |sort | uniq ` ; do
	elm $u -s "Space hog alert" < space.hog.notice
done

cat >home.hog.notice <<ENDEND
Greetinsg.  Your home dir is getting a bit weighty.
Please put it on a diet!  Here you are:
ENDEND

du -sk /home/* | awk '{if ($1 > 100000) { print};};{continue};' > /tmp/fanh.homes.$$
cat /tmp/fanh.homes.$$ >> home.hog.notice

for u in `awk '{print $2 }' /tmp/fanh.homes.$$ ` ; do
        elm $u -s "Home hog alert" < home.hog.notice
done

 - season to taste ;-)

(Warning - the above was typed in without runnin it through the shell,
there are probably errors - but you get the idea ;-)
