HOWTO: Make a repetitive job that reminds you to change your password every month
 
Hi

I would like to have ability to inform a user to change its passwd every month ?

How can I do it in ubuntu by using cmd ?

thx for help.

I don't believe that you need to make a repetitive job. The capability is already built into the system. I would start by reading the man pages for these commands: passwd, useradd, adduser, login.defs, and uermod.

See the sections: "Password Policy" and "Password Expiration" in this tutorial:

Hope this helps. Write back if you have any questions about that article I posted.
