Was usr an exported variable in the shell that invoked your script? I assume that it was not; so you effectively have a loop that runs the command:
Code:
finger > report.txt
one time for every word in the file sample.out. Each time you invoke this command, the contents of the file report.txt is overwritten. As a wild guess, I would think that the following might come closer to providing the output you were trying to produce:
Code:
> report.txt # Clear output file.
while read -r usr
do finger "$usr" >> report.txt # Add finger report for the user name read from sample.out.
done < sample.out

Reason: Add color to show relationship between read variable name and the argument to finger.

Hello all,
Here is what I am trying to do. If a user exist, then send an echo "EXIST" or else "DOES NOT EXIST". (under HP-UX)
Kind of:
#!/usr/bin/sh
USER=mylogin
finger $USER
if $? = 0
then
echo "EXIST""
else
echo "DOES NOT EXIST"
