Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi, Im newbie,
I wanna to create file in each user directory, how to make that script, maybe someone can give me example, im confusing coz i have to change form one user directory to other

Thank U.

i presume u want to create file in each user's home directory

for i in `awk -F":" '{print $1}' /etc/passwd`
do
cd ~$i
touch <filename>
done

plz let me know if i had misunderstood anything

Code:

cut -d: -f6 /etc/passwd |
grep -v nologin |
grep /home | #site specific
while read dir; do
    cd $dir && echo touch file
done

Thank U for your script.
Now i want to change owner of filename become the user's
Here is my script, but the owner of file is still a root.
1. #!/bin/sh
cut -d: -f6 /etc/passwd | grep -v nologin | grep /home |
while read dir;
do
cd $dir && echo
touch filename
export dir=$dir
cut -d: -f3 /etc/passwd | grep -v nologin | grep /home |
while read user;
do
cd $dir && echo
chown $user filename
done
done

just add one line to matrixmadhan's script:

Code:

for i in `awk -F":" '{print $1}' /etc/passwd`
do
cd ~$i
touch <filename>
chown $i <filename>
done

Thank U for the answer before, I need some help more, now im just wanna make a file in each user's directory, im confusing coz some user have a different group
ex : marketing, user, etc. maybe someone can give me advice, Thank You. Here's my script:

#!/bin/sh

for i in `awk -F":" '{print $1}' /etc/passwd |grep -v nologin |grep /home`
do
cd $i
touch filename
# for j in `awk -F":" '{print $3' /etc/passwd` # This is the idea, but it's wrong (wont' working)
# for k in `awk -F":" '{print $4' /etc/passwd`
# do
# do
# chown $j:$k /home/$i/filename
# done
# done
done

Well, here goes:

Code:

while read line; do
   user=`echo $line | cut -d':' -f3`
   group=`echo $line | cut -d':' -f4`
   cd ~$user
   touch <filename>
   chown $user:$group <filename> # this will change the group ownership of the file to the user's primary group
done < /etc/passwd

Guys, if anyone can make this more efficient, please do!
