Hello I am having a hard time figuring out how to complete the existing script I have written. In a nutsheel I am trying to set disk quotas based on an existing user for any user that doesn't have a quota set to 100MB or 102400
as below in the script. The logic seems to work currently but I have ran out of ideas for how to populate the $USER
variable. Any help would be appreciated.
AWK=$(awk '{ print $4 }' test.txt)
USER=$(awk '{ print $1 }' test.txt)
for quota in $AWK;
do
if [ "$quota" = 102400 ];
then
echo "Quota already set to 100MB for user: "$USER""
else
echo "Setting quota from template for user: $USER "
edquota -p username "$USER"
fi
done
The test.txt
file is below:
user1 -- 245 0 0
user2 -- 245 102400 102400
user3 -- 234 102400 102400
user4 -- 234 1 0
Use a single loop that reads both variables from the file:
The
a
,b
, andc
variables are just used to skip over those fields in the input file.
