I am new to using unix and am struggling with a script i am writing. What i am trying to do is get a user to enter a username, check the original file i created with username and pin to see if their is a corresponding entry. Next ask the user to enter the pin and see if this matches corresponding username. Is it possible to do this by using a cat and grep command or is there another way. You can see the progress I have made below. Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Code:
while :
do
echo "enter a name"
read user
cut -f1 usernames | grep -i -q "$user"
a=$?
echo "enter a password"
read pass
cut -f2 usernames | grep -q "$pass"
b=$?
if [ $a = 0 ] && [ $b = 0 ]
then
echo "welcome"
menu
exit
else
echo "access denied please try again"
fi
done
The only problem with this is that the password grep does not search for the corresponding username.
Is the following even possible ? by echo $3, I mean enter password when prompted for it. My main issue is that it would deal with a prompted password, which is passed from the command line like this:
./processing serverA user password

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
