Hello folks,

I searched for topic that relate to this subject but didn't find anything so sorry if this is a dupe.

My situation is this. I want useradd to automate customization of the default index.html in the user's public_html.

I have added the public_html dir and default index.html to /etc/skel so thats a non issue.

What i need is to customize:

~user/public_html/index.html with the new user's name.
modify the navbar class in all user's index.html to add a link to the new user's page.
I am using CSS to keep a uniform look to the web site.

So I guess I need a $username variable to add to the index.html in /etc/skel and a way to parse the navbar class and add a new line in it. in multiple files in multiple locations.

if this isn't clear you can take a look at http://shaitan.gameworkshop.com and view the source to see what is going on in the class navbar.

thanks in advance for your time and your help.

It shouldn't be too hard to modify existing user
adding scripts (like Slack's adduser) to add a
line to some html file using sed/awk ...

Sed/Awk

I think thats what I needed to know. Those are the tools I need to use.

Thanks!
