Impressive shell scripting

[namit]

I am just doing a project in college and my lecturer is looking for some impressive shell scripting.

Has anyone got any ides or samples that i could use.

Was thinking of something like grabbing all users and sending them message using write. But not sure where to start.

You could start here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
It's the bible for everyone that wants to do shell scripting. :)

There are lots of examples in http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html :)
I'm sure you'll find something there that suits your needs (be sure to modify the script enough so that your lecturer is not going to recognize where you got the script from... ;) ).
