Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should have been more specific in my question. Apologies...

How can a get a list of all system users (UID #500+), including those not currently logged in?

Here's one simple way anyway,

Code:

#!/bin/bash
let userid=500
                                                                                
IFS="
"
for i in `cat /etc/passwd`
do
 let j=`echo $i | cut -f 3 -d ':' 2>/dev/null`
                                                                                
 if [ $j -ge $userid ]
  then
    echo $i
 fi
done

or just look in your /etc/passwd file
