Hello people,
Allow me to ask this because I work for an ISP ;-) Actually I am just seeking help
from shell script gurus. I have a shell script that I use to suspend user accounts
on my FreeBSD box. It works well for single user but there are time like now when
I want to suspend over 400 users for non payment. I have another script that can do
this but again the problem is my scripts are so crude they do not do any sensible
checks <LOL>. My bad.
I am attaching the script - wol-suspend.sh Basically one of you gurus can be able
to modify this script so that it takes a flat file (badusers.txt) which has one
user per line and suspend all of them, yes?? I sincerely hate to do
./wol-suspend.sh userx
./wol-suspend.sh userb
My insistence on this is because our Customer Service Executives will verify the user's
status by doing
finger userx
and they'll see Plan: Suspended.
Other than this, what tools do pepole use for such tasks? Someone willing to share
what they have??
Thanking you.
