Here are the latest copies of the XBBS Sysop's utilities purge & mvfile.sh.
You should find that they will run without modification with the exception of
purge which will require you to correct the path to allign.

# This command should assure that the user.bbs file has been 'alligned',
# then prompt the sysop for a date, range of dates, name, or other search
# criteria, present matching users names individually and ask if they should be
# purged, if yes, then purge their records from: user.bbs, userpriv.bbs, and 
# messages.log in each of the message directories.  The deletion is most easily
# accomplished with grep -vf , sed, awk, or ed.
