Bash:
Create a script for a Linux computer in Bash that will create new users that can be read
from
any text file and file is delimited with a pipe (|). A GUI is too slow so you must enter each
user individually.
The script then will take input from a given file of any number of users and create the user
account by giving the following information in the file:
The User name field
The password
User Home Directory (check out the -m option)
Shell
Then you need to figure out the arguments for the command: useradd and use the defaults
for the UID and GID
Then in a loop read the users and using the command useradd keep adding a user until the
file ends.
