Terminal Command to find out expiry date on user accounts
 
Hey,
I am a student writing their first bash script. In it we need to make expiry dates for users to expire in one year after creation. I think i did it. Is there a terminal command to see the expiry dates on user accounts?

Thanks in advance

Code:
chage -l <username>
should show you information regarding password expirations, min/max days between password changes, ... so you can see if your script is working correctly or not.

Here's a quick script based on chage. Replace the 1000 in test for what ever is the beginning user account UID on your system.
Code:
#!/bin/sh

while read inputline
do
        NAME="$(echo $inputline | cut -d: -f1)"
        ID="$(echo $inputline | cut -d: -f3)"
        if [ $ID -ge 1000 ]; then
        echo -n "User: " $NAME " => " ; chage -l $NAME | grep "Account Expires"
        fi
done < /etc/passwd
