In any case, your suggestion seems straight forward and simple
enough, so I'll quit trying to reinvent the wheel and will give it
a shot as soon as I get a few spare minutes (there are some
implementation details, like nicl for < 10.4 and dscl for Leopard,
among others).
except that you want to use dscl instead of nicl (and then need to
tweak the sed pattern).
Something like:
dscl . -read /users/dluke shell | sed 's/^.*shell: //'
For those without access to both 10.4 and 10.5 machines:
On 10.4:
nicl . -read /users/$USER shell
and
dscl . -read /users/$USER shell
both produce output like this:
shell: /bin/bash
On 10.5, nicl does not exist, and
dscl . -read /users/$USER shell
produces output like this:
dsAttrTypeNative:shell: /bin/bash
So we should set THE_UTIL to "nicl" on 10.4 and earlier, or "dscl" on
10.5 and up, and then use:
$THE_UTIL . -read /users/$USER shell | sed 's/^.*: //'
