hello
any help with this code

cat /etc/passwd/ | cut -d ':' -f5 | foreach user in `who`
then
do
echo `ps -U $user`
done

it does'nt work any way around this

who displays who is on the system and field 5 of /etc/passwd are the usernames.
What output are you expected?

Regards

store the value you get through cat /etc/passwd/ | cut -d ':' -f5
var=`cat /etc/passwd/ | cut -d ':' -f5`
now use your for each loop.

Hi,

Can anybody please confirm,is there a "foreach" loop in linux schell script ? I found and used one in Perl,but not sure about the Scripting.
