User Management Script - error
Hey guys,
So I am doing a user management script for my linux class and I'm writing a bash script to create users. I have gotten most of it to work so far however I had to put it into a case and switch with a while loop to be able to complete the requirements. I am getting an error with the second case and i don't understand why can someone please help me?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Assignment 4 by Rehan Lakhani
#Script interface
#Declaring Variables
leave=no
while [ $leave = no ]
do
clear
cat<<EOF
Welcome to the user management script $USER
1) Create a new user
2) Delete a user
3) Modify a user
4) See last 10 created users
5) Quit
Please enter in a number:
EOF
read selection
case $selection in
1)
if [ $selection -eq 1 ]; then
clear
if [ $USER == root ]; then
read -p "Enter username: " username
read -p "Enter home directory: " homeDir
read -p "Enter users fullname: " fullName
read -p "Enter users shell: " uShell
egrep "^$username" /etc/passwd >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$username Exists!"
continue
else
useradd -c "$fullName" -d "$homeDir" -m $username -s "$uShell"
passwd $username
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "User has been added to the system!" || echo "Failed to add user"
continue
fi
else
echo "Only the root user can add a user to the system"
fi

if [ $selection -eq 2 ]; then

if [[ $answer == "y" || $answer == "Y" ]]; then
