$list_A contains a list of user ID's.
$pwdfile_new is the unix password file.
$useralias is a report file
I'm trying to search through the password file with the list in list_A and dumping what ever name it matches into the useralias file. But I want to the code to put "Unable to resolve user" into the report if it cannot find the ID in the password file.. I was trying the below but its not working..
Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong
Code:
for i in $(cat $list_A)
do
to_replace=$(grep -w $i ${pwdfile_new} | cut -f2 -d"=")
matchuser=$(grep -wc $i ${pwdfile_new})
echo $matchuser $i
if [[ "${matchuser}" != "1" ]]
then
sed "s/$i/$i =Unable to resolve user}/g" ${useralias} > $file_A
mv $file_A ${useralias}
else
sed "s/${i}/${to_replace}/g" ${useralias} > $file_A
mv $file_A ${useralias}
fi
done
I'll admit it aint the prettiest piece of code ever but it half works and I'm under pressure to get this script finished for the business..
I've 4 files I'm working with here..
${grouplist}_temp2 Contains a list of the groups in the report. E.g.
OCC
root
admin
printgroup
$list_C contains a list of all the secondary user ID's belonging to the Groups in the ${grouplist}_temp2 E.g.
x111222333
x111333444
x224422333
$pwdfile_new contains user ID's and the names associated with them
${grouplist}_2 is a file which contains the group names and all the xid's asociated with them. E.g.
OCC=x1332223, x4324523, w2324233, x12451213
admin=x2136423, x1332223, w2324233, x4444444, x1212323
printgroup=x12451213
I need to replace the group ID's in the ${grouplist}_2 file with their matched username E.g. x111222333=Joe Bloggs
But I also need it to return Name_Not_Found if the xid is not contained in that $pwdfile_new file..
E.g. x224422333=Name_Not_Found
Code:
for y in $(cat $list_C)
do
to_replace9=$(grep -w ${y} ${pwdfile_new} | cut -f2 -d"=")
matchgrpusr=$(grep -wc ${y} ${pwdfile_new})
if [[ "${matchgrpusr}" != "1" ]]
then
sed "s/$y/${y}=Name_Not_Found/g" ${grouplist}_2 > $file_B
mv $file_B ${grouplist}_2
else
#### Making sure to replace the second instance of $y if the xid is the same name as the user
matchfirstinst=$(grep -wc $y ${grouplist}_temp2)
if [[ "${matchfirstinst}" == "1" ]]
then
sed "s/$y/${y}=${to_replace9} /2" ${grouplist}_2 > $file_B
mv $file_B ${grouplist}_2
else
sed "s/$y/${y}=${to_replace9} /g" ${grouplist}_2 > $file_B
mv $file_B ${grouplist}_2
fi
fi
done
If someone can suggest a better way that would be much appreciated...
EDIT****
Ok I've changed it around a bit but when it finds a match it should be echoing out $useridvar $to_replace9 but it seems to be echoing out echo $useridvar $matchgrpusr instead... Been looking at this so long now nothings making sense
Code:
while read useridvar
do
#to_replace9=$(grep -w ${useridvar} ${pwdfile_new} | cut -f2 -d"=")
matchgrpusr=$(grep -wc ${useridvar} ${pwdfile_new})
if [[ "{$matchgrpusr}" == 1 ]]
then
to_replace9=$(grep -w ${useridvar} ${pwdfile_new} | cut -f2 -d"=")
echo $useridvar $to_replace9
sed "s/${useridvar}/${useridvar}=${to_replace9} /g" ${grouplist}_2 > $file_B
mv $file_B ${grouplist}_2
else
echo $useridvar $matchgrpusr
sed "s/$useridvar/${useridvar}=Name_Not_Found/g" ${grouplist}_2 > $file_B
mv $file_B ${grouplist}_2
fi
done < $list_C
