Useradd Script

[purusrhce]

Hi,

Our requirement is to create multiple user account with UID:-

/tmp/users.txt

rohit
guna
samsir

like this 100 user names in /tmp/users.txt file

/tmp/uid.txt

2001
3789
1000134

like this 100 UID's in /tmp/UID.txt file

The script should take input from both the files and create user account. for example user account rohit should have an UID of 2001 and user samsir should have an UID of 1000134. How to achieve this, your help would be highly appreciated. I need to create 100 user account like this.

Theres a hundred ways you could do it, heres one...



#!/bin/bash

count=`wc -l users.txt | awk '{print $1}'`

for n in `seq 1 $count`; do

username=`awk "FNR == $n" users.txt`
uid=`awk "FNR == $n" uids.txt`
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -u $uid -s /bin/bash $username

done
