Here's another one. What is an easy way to test if a user exists on a system? I want to test for a user's existence and then use that ID to chmod a directory. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Bobby,
There are quite a few ways like grepping the user from /etc/passwd, commands like logins, id etc.,. I use 'pwget'.
USER=Your_user_name
pwget -n $USER |grep -q "^${USER}:"
if [[ $? = 0 ]]
then
Your_chmod_commands
else
echo "$USER does not exist"
fi

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try
