Is there any way to get those.

I ws able to get above information from passwd -sa and cat /etc/passwd file

If you know how to get the info from the two commands, you can just write a script that combines the output.

Hi 

I used this command to merge the output, but I was not successfull.

{ command1 & command2; }

could you help me in merging the outputs.

>{ command1 & command2; }

This will run the first in the background.

If these two commands produce one line of output for one user, you can simply use:

{ command1; command2; }

If these two commands produce output for multiple users then you need to merge the info from each, provided there are a fixed number of lines for one command.

If files are sorted and one line each and the "key" is first, you can use join(1).
