No such command like icon
I go for command icon in Redhat but no manual entry for this command. If you have
written the shell script for deleting user the definitely u wld have been having shell script for adding user. And u wd have been logged in to the system after adding user. Please le me know in detail.

You need to pass the encrypted password, as returned by crypt. The default is to disable the account. What you are passing is cleartext. Use perl to generate password:
Perl code Code:
rPasswd=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "Az")' $password) Code:
#/bin/bash echo "enter the name of user " read user; echo " enter the user id" read uid; echo " enter the group id" read gid; echo "enter the home directory" read home echo "enter the shell script" read shell echo "enter the password" read password grep $user /etc/passwd > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then rPasswd=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "Az")' $password) adduser -u $uid -g $gid -d $home -s $shell -p $rPasswd $user else echo "$user already exist" fi
