Hi linux programmers,

I was wondering if one of u wud be nice enough to tell me the code of reating "add users, delete users".

Add user must include a file netusers.txt which must be read through this file. It shud create users in linux and in samba.

Delete user shud read the file to delete. For each user ask whether the files are to be deleted, or are to remain on the server. Delete the user, and depending on the response to the prompt, delete the user directory or not.

Thanks

Why don't you post your code so far, and where you're having troubles, and then we'll see if we can help.

This is code now.. I cant get the add user working...


function Add_users()

{
clear
echo "Add users selected"
echo
echo
echo " Add users menu"
echo " *****************************"
echo " 1. Add users from file"
echo " 2. Add user manually"
echo " 3. Exit to main menu"
echo " *****************************"
echo "please enter the number of ur choice (1-3)"
read Add_choice

case $Add_choice in


1)
Add_user_from_file
;;
2)
Add_user_manually
;;
3)
clear
Main_Menu_function
;;
esac

}

function Add_user_manually
{
echo -n "Enter first name: "
read First_name

echo -n "enter last name: "
read Last_name

echo -n "enter group name: "
read Group_name

echo -n "enter year of enrollment: "
read year

echo -n "enter password (must not be based on a dictionary word): "
read password

echo -n "enter username: "
read username


if [ ! -d /home/$year ]
then
mkdir /home/$year/
echo "creating /home/$year"
else
echo "folder /home/$year already exists."
fi


if [ ! -d /home/$year/$Group_name ]
then
mkdir /home/$year/$Group_name
echo "creating /home/$year/$Group_name"
else
echo " /home/$year/$Group_name directory already exists"
fi



if [ ! -d /home/$year/$Group_name/$username ]
then
mkdir /home/$year/$Group_name/$username
echo "creating /home/$year/$Group_name/$username"
else

echo "/home/$year/$Group_name/$username directory already exists"
fi





/usr/sbin/useradd -c "$firstname,$Group_name" -d "/home/$year/$Group_name/$username" $username

## useradd -g $Group_name -s /bin/shell -d /home/$year/$Group_name/$username -m $username -c $First_name$Last_name 2>> file1.txt

echo $password | /usr/bin/passwd --stdin $username


#mkdir /home/$Year/$Group/$username/public_html 2>> file1.txt
#echo "users created"


}



Thanks

you are reading the name into the variable First_name etc
but you use firstname which is not initialized
make sure that you use the variables consistantly.
Also why do you create directories for groups etc.
And if the directory already exists then if you use them then there is a problem.

tip: "help select"

Cheers,

I'll redo again, and show u my code later....

Thanks
