How to check the user input to be valid using shell script?
The valid input is in the format like as follows.
1. It can only have r,w,x or a hyphen and nothing else.
2. ensure the r, w, x are in the correct order.
for example: rwxr-xr-x is a valid format.

and rwhod(1M)). If has not received a report from a machine for 11 minutes, assumes the machine is down and does not report users last
known to be logged into that machine.
output line has fields for the name of the user, the name of the machine, the user's terminal line, the time the user logged in, and the
amount of time the user has been idle. Idle time is shown as:
If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, reports this as idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an hour
or more, the user is omitted from output unless the flag is given.
An example output line from would look similar to:

for each user on each machine on the local network that is running
