Error Scripting users issues...
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum community and need help with some scripts. I have attached what I have so far and these are scripts that have been passed on to me for a project that I have been assigned. To tell the truth I have never really worked with scripts and have no clue how these even work (so any information or help that is dumbed down would be beneficial). The person that passed this on to me is no longer is available to be reached and they did not provide any documentation on this information. I know the scripts are supposed to create new users to be used with mysql and phpmyadmin on the server. My questions are how do these even work and what do they do? Also if anyone has suggestions on how to make these more effective and secure feel free to try and help out or point me in the right direction. Another thing that I was wondering with these is how would I go about making changes to allow tracking of the accounts created and to create a script to remove all files associated with a specific user and have it stored in an archive. Thanks everyone and I appreciate you help.

You can learn basics of shell scripting online!! It is very easy to find.

Try learning things & post any doubt that you have Smilie

I have looked in different areas about trying to figure out how these actually work since they seem to be a little more advanced than just basic scripting. I posted what was given to me and I am trying to get all the help I can on this. The people I work with just smacked this on me and expect this to be completed in the next week. That is the only reason I am turning to forum posting. I just want to see what people may suggest about the code posted and good sites that may relate to what I am asking. Not really looking for "Just look online". Thanks for the reply though.

It appears to me that you are either trying to pass off someone else's work as your own and / or want someone else to do your assignments for you.

I hope it's not the former but, in either case, do not post classroom or homework problems in the main forums. Homework and coursework questions can only be posted in this forum under special homework rules.

Please review the rules, which you agreed to when you registered, if you have not already done so.
