Hello All,

I work for a company, who uses a third party tool to manage Unix accounts. I have been recently given a task to get a secondary groups for each user from bunch of servers. The tool offers various commands to query user information but it does not have a proper command to query secondary groups. So only option left for me is to capture the secondary groups from an output of command using grep/awk/sed statements . Here's how the output looks like :
=========================================
Date for user "xyzuser":
-------------------------
Primary Group:
sys-admin

Group Connections:
webdeveloper
oracle-dba

Terminal :

linux-host

Mode:

Admin,Auditor
======================================
This is a Linux Server and I want to be able to just capture only "webdeveloper" and "oracle-dba" files in proper way and output to a text file. I have tried lot of awk/sed commands ( not a expert ) but I had no luck.


I appreciate if anyone help me with this task. It will be huge help .

Please show what you have tried?

I've done something like this a long time ago, with the help of a colleague, in Gawk. The idea was to have a first loop using delimiters to isolate each user(in your case, in mine it wasn't users) and then find groups(in your case) inside this text area. I still have it somewhere, but not here at the moment.
