yes good suggestion, thanks for the clarification.

If the fullname contained spaces, this would not work since $3 would get

only the first non-whitespace word after the username. I'd suggest you change

the format of the text file with another field separator like ':'

Subject: Re: [plug] useradd and passwd script

but it wont work if you have multiple lines of account/s. you have to reiterate the file with something like:

#!/bin/bash

exec < password_file

while read LINE; do
   IFS=" "; set -- $(echo $LINE)

   MyUserName=$1

   MyPassword=$2 
   MyFullName=$3

   useradd "${MyUserName}" -c "${MyFullName}"

   echo "${MyPassword}" | passwd "${MyUserName}" --stdin

done

<End Script>

here's the corrected script

<Begin Script>

#!/bin/bash

MyFile=password_file

MyUserName=`cat "${MyFile}" | awk '{print $2}'`

MyPassword=`grep ${MyUserName} ${MyFile} | awk '{print $1}'`
MyFullName=`grep ${MyUserName} ${MyFile} | awk '{print $3}'`

useradd "${MyUserName}" -c "${MyFullName}"

echo "${MyPassword}" | passwd "${MyUserName}" --stdin

<End Script>

Hi,

try this simple script

<Begin Script>

#!/bin/bash

MyFile=password_file

MyUserName=`cat "${MyFile}" | awk '{print $2}'`
MyPassword=`grep ${MyUserName} | awk '{print $1}'`
MyFullName=`grep ${MyUserName} | awk '{print $3}'`

useradd "${MyUserName}" -c "${MyFullName}"

echo "${MyPassword}" | passwd "${MyUserName}" --stdin

<End Script>

just replace password_file with your actual file


Hope this helps
