Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to suspend a user account? Post 302299851 by KenJackson on Saturday 21st of March 2009 05:58:15 PM

By suspend, do you mean to lock the account so they can't login? This command does that, which can easily be done from a script:
Code:
usermod -L user

As for listing all non-suspended users, this might work. I grep for /bin/false to try to get rid of non-user users, but you still end up with mail, halt, nobody, etc. You could also use grep to eliminate '/bin/sh' if no one actually uses that shell.
Code:
for u in $(sudo grep -v ':!' /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f1); do
    grep -qv "$u.*/bin/false" /etc/passwd  &&  echo $u
done
