How can I test to see if the word "tuber" is in the /etc/passwd file, reliably, and take an action if it is, and take a different action if it's not, in a bash shell script?
if grep -q '\<tuber\>' /etc/passwd
then
echo 'NOOOOOO! THERE ARE POTATOES IN MY PASSWORD! ABORT! ABORT!' | mail root
else
echo "foo. Foo? passwords are clean..." | mail root
fi
How do I test to make sure the name is in two files? Like so?
if ( ! grep -q '\<tuber\>' /etc/passwd ) or ( ! grep -q '\<tuber\>' /etc/shadow )
then
echo "Error: One or both files are missing 'tuber'" | mail root
exit 1
fi
Thanks!
