Title: Adding Multiple Users
Post by: Karl McElwain on June 17, 2002, 07:08:33 PM

Okay I've made the script and the import file....I'm in the correct folder /root

I've logged in as root....and verified the files are there.  But I'm getting an error when I try to run it

bash:  e-smith-add-user.sh: command not found

anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

well that did something....now I'm getting permission denied....I'm logged on as root so I really don't understand what could be going on.

Has you script got execute permissions?

I actually just thought about that and it wasn't set to be executable....what about the text file....what sort of permissions should it have?

Thanks I'm getting there.

As I don't know the script you are running I am not sure, but I presume that 644 with root:root ownership would do as you are running the script under root.

Success....I finally got it to run....i got the permissions all set and it started running the script.

Now the only problem is that the script is giving me errors....any idea on where I can get a clean script that works?

Oh by the way thank you soooo much.....I should have looked at the exec option but sometimes it takes somebody else to point out the obvious.

I might be able to help you if you can explain where you got the script from and what it is suppost to do.

here's what I got....line 31 something wrong with the "do" statement....already fixed the "fi" on line 23...changed it to "if"
---------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# USAGE:
#
# Create the file /root/adduserlist.txt in the following format:
#
# USERNAME1:FIRSTNAME1:LASTNAME1
# USERNAME2:FIRSTNAME2:LASTNAME2
#
# and so on...
#
# This script will create user accounts, mail accounts and pseudonyms for all the listed users in the /root/adduserlist.txt file.
#
# NOTE *By default usernames/passwords are set to the same value*
#

UFILE=/root/adduserlist.txt

if [ ! -f $UFILE ]; then
echo User database $UFILE missing
exit
if

# export record=cat $UFILE
# if [ "$record" != "" ]; then

# --------------------------
# Make sure the lines below are all indented as shown

# ---------------------------------
# Set value for password as created

That's not fixed. 'fi' closes 'if'.

Actually, fi closes an if statement.

okay then.....do either of you know why I'm getting a syntax error when it's "fi"

and the "do"?

hey guess what...I believe I figured it out.   When I used MC to edit the file is appears that there was some sort of character at the end of the line.  Once I did that it worked.  Thanks for everyone's help.
