Need help writing a script
Write a single command line to list the username, numeric user ID, and home directory from of each user from /etc/passwd, sorted by numeric user ID. If more than one command is needed, use the pipe operator.
This is a task that i am going to have to be able to complete on my final. I got a general Idea of what I have to use, I know its going to be the awk, grep, sort, and cat commands but putting it all together and have it work is my problem.
