How To Add Users To Linux OS From A Text file This tutorial is about a bash script to add, delete and verify the users either from a text file; it can also add, delete and modify the users manually. This script can be used to add , delete and verify the users to the Linux OS by fetching the user's information from any text file and this script can also add, delete or verify the users manually, I have put both of these functions in one script file. The text file can be specified by the administrator.

HI,
The script is good, but it it not generic enough. I think it is a good idea to use awk to extract data instead of grep and use usernamexxx pattern.
Great Job though.
Thanks,
Great Job!!. That is what I always wanted. Cheers !!
I find it hard to believe this piece of code remains unchallenged for so long. While its function is fairly clearly explained, the code itself is inconsistent, clunky (I would not want boxes of '#' symbols cluttering my screen) and will not work. For example, in one section he cuts the same data into three different shell variables. This would be of more value as a debugging exercise for a rookie programmer.
Thank you for this awesome script and explanation, it is fantastic !
I tried to delete users stored in my users.txt file, but it shows some error.
