need to add 500+ user to a group. Does anyone know how I can this
without adding each person individually? As I think I might be sat in this seat for the next two weeks adding everyone and miss my holiday to Ibiza! Cheers
You can do something like this:
for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}'); do chown $i.GROUPNAME; done
Actually, you don't do that! It won't work.... for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}'); do adduser $i GROUPNAME; done The above will work!!!
