The command you gave me for the create user is fine, but i need to log on as root
to be able to create those accounts. Do u know whether there's a command that i can use in my script that will allow me to enter as root and create them automatically?

NAME
svsetup - Service setup tool for daemontools SYNOPSIS
svsetup [OPTION]... CMD SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Service setup tool for daemontools -u USER Specify service user name (Default: root) -l USER Specify log user name (Default: root) -n Do not setup logging with multilog -e ETCDIR Specify cfg directory (Default: /etc/sv/SERVICE) -L LOGDIR Specify log directory (Default: /var/log/sv/SERVICE) -s SERVICEDIR Specify service directory (Default: automatically detected) -d Delete service user on removal -D Delete log user on removal -h, --help Display help and exit -V, --version Display version and exit CMD Specifies action to perform: CREATE Create new service REMOVE Delete existing service ENABLE Enable service DISABLE Disable service SERVICE Specifies the service name NOTE: If you REMOVE a service and specify a service user (with -u) and/or a log user (with -l) these users (except root) are removed, too, if you also specify the option -d and/or -D! This happens without any confirmation requests and the users are deleted even if they were not created by svsetup! If you create a new service a default run script is created. If there is already a run script in ETCDIR this existing runscript is used instead. REPORTING BUGS
