Hi Team

I am trying to put together a nice small script to mount my lvm snapshot

Here are my objectives

1 Check whether snapshot is currently mounted. If so echo umount snapshot and exit...

Thank you for all your post

It really means alot to me and it gave me a good bash learning curve

One more thing is, the home directory still doesn't creates remotely by the script

here is...

Bang on

This works for me
RUID=$(ssh $i awk -F: '\$3=="'$UNIQUE'"' /etc/passwd)



One more thing is, the home directory still doesn't created remotely by the script

here is the line of...

Just a dum question.....

What does it mean by the $ sign infront of that bracket ()

Is that another way of assign the value of ssh..... to RUID
RUID=$(ssh $i awk -F: '\$3=="'$UNIQUE'"'...

My hosts are all rhel 4 and 5

Here is what I get if I put that modificatin of yours
RUID=`ssh $i awk -F: '\$3=="'$UNIQUE'"' /etc/passwd`
[root@GPGLNX02 test]# ./useradd.sh
awk: ==
awk: ^ syntax error


I even run it...

What is the reason of the escape(\) on $3 on the following option you suggested
RUID=`ssh $i awk -F: '\$3=="'$UNIQUE'"' /etc/passwd`

You're right

$1 is the uid value

Can you please clarification why you have both double and single quotes on
"'$UNIQUE'"
RUID=`ssh $i awk -F: '\$3=="'$UNIQUE'"'...

Thanks madeingermany

That is another neat way of doing it, unfortunately

when I run it twice, it doesn't give out the output that the user or uid exist
[root@GPGLNX02 test]# ./useradd-1.sh...

Thanks DGPickett

I am new in bash, and I didn't totally understand what you're trying to say.

Do you mean, change the for loop to while loop, scp the script to the remote server and run it?

...

I wonder whether someone can help me with what I'm trying to achieve

Basically, the objective is one script to create new user on more than 70 linux hosts if required.

Everything works apart...
