Hello again, Ragini,
So I used [[ $UID != 0 ]] to check for root.
@Nikhilesh I modified the script and find below the latest iteration:
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/sh
if [[ $UID != 0 ]]
then
exit 1
fi
if [[ $?=0 ]]
then
read -p 'Enter the new username' $USER_NAME
read -p 'Enter Real name' $COMMENT
read -p 'Enter password' $PASSWORD
else
exit 1
fi
#create account
if [[ "${?}" == 0 ]]
then
useradd -c "${COMMENT}"-m $USER_NAME
echo $PASSWORD | passwd --stdin ${USER_NAME}
echo Working...
else
echo not working
exit 1
fi
if [[ $? == 0 ]]
then
echo "Account Created" "Username: ${user_name}, Host: ${HOSTNAME}"
Issues:
-So I had a previous iteration which gives an error "Unexpected end of file"
- The script fails at the useradd command.
Thanks for the help @Nikhilesh @ Ragini
