I am a beginner at scripting, but I created a text file called text.dat
which contains only usernames in the file location /home/daniel/text.dat
and I’m trying to run a script(called addusers.sh
) which displays the names from that text file and will create a new user account on the system for each new user account specified in the text.dat
file.
For each user account that is created, append a line entry to the /home/daniel/logs/useraccounts.log
file. The line entry will contain the following information:
added | < user account name > | < day and time of creation >. This is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash echo “cat text.dat” newuser= grep /home/daniel/text.dat sudo adduser $newuser
