Generate a random password
Hello All...
Can someone help me generate a random password which will be 7 characters long which contains alpha-numeric characters using shell script.
I am looking to store the output of the script that generates the password to a variable within a script and use it as the password.
Thanks,
Chiru

Hi, Guz!
I'm working on a scripts compiler which needs a function to generate random strings. I think REGX may be a good solution to restrict the string format. Before DIYing I'd like asking for any existing libs or codes.
Any help will be appreciated! (7 Replies)

UUIDGEN(1) General Commands Manual UUIDGEN(1)
NAME
uuidgen - command-line utility to create a new UUID value
SYNOPSIS
uuidgen [-r|-t]
DESCRIPTION
The uuidgen program creates (and prints) a new universally unique identifier (UUID) using the libuuid(3) library. The new UUID can reason-
ably be considered unique among all UUIDs created on the local system, and among UUIDs created on other systems in the past and in the
future.
There are two types of UUID's which uuidgen can generate: time-based UUID's and random-based UUID's. By default uuidgen will generate a
random-based UUID if a high-quality random number generator is present. Otherwise, it will chose a time-based UUID. It is possible to
force the generation of one of these two UUID types by using the -r or -t options.
OPTIONS
-r Generate a random-based UUID. This method creates a UUID consisting mostly of random bits. It requires that the operating system
have a high quality random number generator, such as /dev/random.
-t Generate a time-based UUID. This method creates a UUID based on the system clock plus the system's ethernet hardware address, if
present.
CONFORMING TO
OSF DCE 1.1
AUTHOR
uuidgen was written by Andreas Dilger for libuuid.
AVAILABILITY
The uuidgen command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
