Create 2 text files called 'employees' and 'present'. In the 'employees' file add your single names (no space) one below the other. The main script is called 'muster' and is given below. #!/bin/bash echo -e "Welcome to Your Company" echo -n "Please enter your name: " read -e USER if grep -q "$USER" employees then echo "Thank you for your entry." else echo "Sorry! Your name does not appear in our records." exit fi if grep -q "$USER" present then echo "Sorry! You have already logged in today." else DATE=$(date +%d-%m-%Y) MONTH=$(date +%b-%Y) CUR=$(date +%s) REF=$(date +%s -d 'today 10am') DIFF=$(( $CUR - $REF )) streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 16 -q -o $USER.jpeg convert $USER.jpeg -resize 60x40 $USER-$DATE.jpeg rm -f $USER.jpeg MIN=$(($DIFF/60)) echo "$DATE $USER $MIN" >> $USER-$MONTH.csv echo "$USER" >> present fi exit The other script is called 'absent' and is given below. #!/bin/bash DATE=$(date +%d-%m-%Y) MONTH=$(date +%b-%Y) for i in $(cat employees); do if grep -q "$i" present then echo > /dev/null else echo "$DATE $i Absent" >> $i-$MONTH.csv fi done All you need is a linux compatible webcam and the 2 scripts and the 2 text files and you are ready with the Low Cost Attendance Registering System with Biometrics. This script will run even on older machines that cannot handle server software. > -- > regards > KG > http://lawgon.livejournal.com > Coimbatore LUG rox > http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ > > -- > http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers > -- As a proper list etiquette.....
