Hi dude,
the actual problem is the wrong "if"-statement, one line before the "groupdel" command.
Due to the exclamation mark, it reads like "If the group ... is NOT found, delete it",
but since the group does exist, the else part of that if statement gets triggered.
So you got to remove the exclamation mark (!) in the line 53.
I guess that happened because you copied it from the groupadd section.
Here are some further suggestions:
1. imho you don't need to read from STDIN at the program start, so try this instead:
2. There is a "-g" option missing between the groupadd command and $group_id
3. groupdel requires groupname as argument, so probably you should remove -g $group_id (see jim's answer)
4. you should not simply system("some-command") and then independently print some status or return code. Try this:
5. if ($choice == 1) ... elsif ($choice == 2) ... if ($choice == 3) seems not to be consistent
6. If your perl script still misbehaves, consider using the perl debugger: perl -d yourscript.pl
HTH, good luck!
This User Gave Thanks to junior-helper For This Post:
As part of a NIS implementation, (I think) I want to create a group (in /etc/group) that has users that do not exist on the target machine.
What effect will this have? Will it cause any problems?
Thanks,

I'm kinda new to unix programming so bear with me...
I'm running a script prompting a user for an existing user and group and want to be able to validate if they valid.
Is there any code available?
Any help or push in the right direction would help.
