add more than one user in one go ??

Hi all,

Is there any command or switch option with "useradd" command to add more than one user in a single command.

I can do this with help of a small script, just wondering if there is any other way out.

Regards,

There is a command to do this. Take a look at

Code:

man newusers

Or you can have some fun and create a batch script that will take a file and run the useradd command and supply all the command the information for the file.

Hi,

I will prefer working with a shell script than using newusers command.
