Shell Programming and Scripting

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

me=$(whoami)
echo $me

USERS=$(w -h |awk '{ print $1 }' |sort -u|wc -l)

if [ "${USERS}" -eq 5 ]; then
   awk -v me="${me}" -F: '$1 == me' /etc/passwd 
fi

Ok will do in the future.

BTW I get these errors with the code you supplied.

Code:

line 1: USERS: command not found
line 8: [: : integer expression expected

works fine under Sun/Solaris.
Please post the exact script and error(s) encountered (using code tags).

try this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x

me=$(whoami)
echo $me

typeset -i USERS=$(w -h |awk '{ print $1 }' |sort -u|wc -l)

if [ "${USERS}" -eq 5 ]; then
   awk -v me="${me}" -F: '$1 == me' /etc/passwd
fi

Just did some checking but still get these errors now...

Code:

line 1: USERS: command not found
line 8: [: : integer expression expected

I am running on CentOS re. 3.7.

see my last posting.

With this code I still get the above errors...
