Here's something that people may find useful: a shell script for
scrounging around in fsck ``lost+found'' directories and telling
people about newly found files. Basically, you invoke it by running
it in the lost+found directory.
This works under 4.1BSD. You might have to change the names assumed
by the awk script for other Unixes; I don't know whether all fsck's
are alike.
For example, we have the following in our /etc/rc:
-------------------------this goes in /etc/rc---------------------------
echo notifying about files >/dev/console
for lfdir in /lost+found /*/lost+found
do
if [ $lfdir != /tmp/lost+found ]
then
(cd $lfdir; /etc/recover_notify) >/dev/console 2>&1
fi
done
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now (fanfare) here's /etc/recover_notify:
---------------------this goes in /etc/recover_notify-------------------
d=`pwd`
ls -l |\
awk ' {\
if ( length( $3 ) > 0 && length( $8 ) > 0 && substr ($8, 1, 2) != "##") {\
print "mail " $3 " << XXXXXXX" ;\
print "To: " $3 ; \
print "A file of yours was recovered and placed in '$d'/#" $8 "." ;\
print "XXXXXXX" ;\
print "echo Notifying " $3 " about file '$d'/" $8 "\\
" ;\
print "mv \\" $8 " \\#" $8 ;\
}\
}' |\
sh
