crontab cant create user
 

Hii

I have the following script (named /root/addNewUser.sh) to add new users automatikally. The script is automatically created every minutes

#!/bin/bash
adduser xxx-xxx -s /bin/false

and I have the following enrty at crontab
*/1 * * * * /root/addNewUser.sh >/root/newUser.log


even if I am able to create users by above script using command line like:

# addNewUser.sh

the users cant be created by crontab.

In your script, use the full path to adduser. Cron's PATH is more limited by default than your own shell's PATH.

thanks a lot

Why do you want to add a new user every minute?
