Simple loop to mail all active users.
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Send a fortune to all active/logged in users
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
So I understand I need to use the who command to see all the active users online. Then mail those users a fortune using the built in fortune command. The issue I'm having is how I would put this into a for loop?
Do I simply create a log of all active users and awk that? I'm sorry I am having a really hard time with shell scripting and cant grasp my head around the logic behind this simple one line of code.
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Modesto Junior College, Modesto (CA), US, Dale Phillips, and CMSCI-210:
Thank you for the help. I know theres not to much information but thats why im here
. Try and get a push in the right direction.
