Hi all - just wondering if you could help with a simple bash script...i want to list all user account on a linux system

Thanks

I could give you a perl script to do it but thats not what you request.

I haven't studied to much with bash scripting all though I'm sure with a little research this would be a fairly simple task.

Are you just trying to see all the accounts?

you could just look at /etc/passwd such as

# less /etc/passwd

Indeed .... "list all user account" is not very specific, and in its simplest
incarnation certainly doesn't require a bash script.

What exactly do you wish to list, what is the expected output?

Cheers,
Tink
