select only user who use /bin/bash shell from the /etc/passwd folder

Hi,

How can I select only user who use /bin/bash shell from the /etc/passwd folder and copy them in another file?

You can try sed or awk:

Code:

$ sed -n '\:/bin/bash$:p' /etc/passwd

$ awk -F: '$NF == "/bin/bash"' /etc/passwd

What's wrong with a simple grep?

Code:

grep '/bin/bash' /etc/passwd
