hello chage command is a useful command for set expire date (suspend user) :
-E switch will update the “Account expires” value as shown below: chage -E "2009-05-31" username
how can i write this shell script which can find present date and plus it with the value that user set,
like today is 2014-05-31, user enter 60 when script ask hi the expire period,
script must add 60 days to 2014-05-31 and store it in date.txt file
very god,
ok now how can i list all users from /home and add them to $USERNAMES with loop ?
this script has to list all users from /home with ls /home chage -l $USERNAMES | grep "Account expires" | cut -d: -f2 2> LIST.txt

checkout this code, the output is not what i want, echo username + expire date to new dile
Code:
echo "`ls /home/`"$'\r' > /root/Desktop/userslist
for i in `cat /root/Desktop/userslist`
do
explist=`chage -l $i | grep "Account expires" | cut -d: -f2`
echo "$i IS EXPIRE IN $explist" > /root/Desktop/LIST
done

chage send an unknown user error after 3 times, checout these errors
chage: unknown user user4
chage: unknown user nima5
you can run my script in your machine and check it will stop after for or while command run 3 times,
Try this corrected version, which is based on your own attempts:
Code:
ls /home > /root/Desktop/userslist
#empty LIST file
>/root/Desktop/LIST
for i in `cat /root/Desktop/userslist`
do
explist=`chage -l $i | grep "Account expires" | cut -d: -f2`
echo "$i IS EXPIRE IN $explist" >> /root/Desktop/LIST
done
If it works, please use the while loop version, which is more appropriate for this task. It does the same as the for loop, but in a "cleaner" way:
Code:
ls /home > /root/Desktop/userslist
#empty LIST file
>/root/Desktop/LIST
while read user
do
explist=`chage -l $user | grep "Account expires" | cut -d: -f2`
echo "$user IS EXPIRE IN $explist" >> /root/Desktop/LIST
done < /root/Desktop/userslist

Hi All,
Is this true on chage command?

Passing the number -1 as MAX_DAYS will remove checking a password's validity.
Does this means password will not expire anymore?

I have not given any privileges to anyone explicitly. When I issued ls -l in the /usr/bin directory I... (1 Reply)
