Re: [plug] useradd and passwd script

Fri, 26 May 2006 02:55:27 -0700

edit users.txt and should be look like this:
-----
2710050:waombao:WILBERT_A_OMBAO
2710034:esrosel:ERIC_S_ROSEL
2710040:pbbelleza:PATRICK_B_BELLEZA
-----

and edit these lines from your script:

IFS=" "; set -- $(echo $LINE)
 MyUserName=$1
MyPassword=$2
MyFullName=$3

into:

 IFS=":"; set -- $(echo $LINE)
MyUserName=$2
MyPassword=$1
MyFullName=$3

Sir this is the script edited:
-----------
#!/bin/bash

exec < users.txt


while read LINE; do
   IFS=" "; set -- $(echo $LINE)
   MyUserName=$1
   MyPassword=$2
   MyFullName=$3

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

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

done
------------
And this is the result:
--------------
useradd: invalid user name '2710050     waombao         WILBERT_A_OMBAO'
passwd: Unknown user name '2710050      waombao         WILBERT_A_OMBAO'.
useradd: invalid user name '2710034     esrosel         ERIC_S_ROSEL'
passwd: Unknown user name '2710034      esrosel         ERIC_S_ROSEL'.
useradd: invalid user name '2710040     pbbelleza       PATRICK_B_BELLEZA'
passwd: The user name supplied is too long.

----------------
This are in users.txt:
---------------
password       username         fullname
--------------       --------------         -------------
2710050         waombao        WILBERT_A_OMBAO
2710034         esrosel            ERIC_S_ROSEL
2710040         pbbelleza         PATRICK_B_BELLEZA
----------------
I'm not sure if I did the right step.
But from the result I think the script did not brake the line "<space> " and assign it to a separate variable but instead it parse the whole line as 1 variable.

Sory for asking this: Is there still hope for the script? :)

Thanks and more power

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>

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

regards,
