running test
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am running a test command and if the user is not found you have to type exit and it wiil exit. Ok I did that. But if the user is found it is supposed to finger them. But my problem is it makes you type exit first then it fingers them. Why? whats wrong?

if [ -z username ]
then
error_fn
else
echo "Please try again or type exit to quit"
read exit"
if grep "$username" /etc/passwd
then
finger "$username"
fi
fi

I must have something switched around huh?

dh_auto_test

DH_AUTO_TEST(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_AUTO_TEST(1)

NAME

       dh_auto_test - automatically runs a package's test suites

SYNOPSIS

       dh_auto_test [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_auto_test is a debhelper program that tries to automatically run a package's test suite. It does so by running the appropriate command
       for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a test or check target, then this is
       done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If the test suite fails, the command will exit nonzero. If there's no
       test suite, it will exit zero without doing anything.

       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages with a test suite. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_test at
       all, and just run the test suite manually.

OPTIONS

       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.

       -- params
	   Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_test usually passes.

NOTES

       If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains nocheck, no tests will be performed.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
