Is this the sort of thing you are after? It runs in ksh, hence the odd comment at the top.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

read uid?"What users are you looking for? "          # Prompt and accept input
grep "^$uid " file | read userid fn sn               # Use your file name here
echo "The owner of $uid is $fn $sn"                  # Display result

Have I missed the point?




I hope that this helps,

Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed. If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload.
