userlist="username1 username2 username3"

starttime=$(date)

for cpaneluser in $userlist;do
for imgurl in $(nice -n 19 find /home/$cpaneluser/public_html -type f -iname "*.gif" -o -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.png"); do

# now we have full image url set in "imgurl" variable

# get last 3 characters from "imgurl" (file extension) so we can discover which filetype we currently processing
curext=${imgurl: -3}

if [ "$curext" == "gif" ];then
gifsicle -b -O2 $imgurl
sleep 0.3
fi

if [ "$curext" == "jpg" ];then
jpegoptim -m85 $imgurl
sleep 0.3
fi

if [ "$curext" == "png" ];then
optipng -o2 -preserve $imgurl
chown $cpaneluser:$cpaneluser $imgurl
sleep 0.3
