I would do that in a wrapper, and call the separately tested child script from it. It simplifies testing of both. If you want, later one can be a function within the other.
cut, sed or awk could find the /etc/passwd fields you need, and selectively invoke the script. Somewhere, ensure the home dir exists or is gracefully logged and ignored!
Narrative: Pull fields 3 and 6, colon : separated, from /etc/passwd, now separated by a space; if 3, the user #, is 0 to 2 digits, or if it is three digits starting 0-4, it is too low. If the nominal home dir is '/', we don't want to do this. If there is no home dir, we don't want to try. Stick your script on the front of every line.
