Why do you need a script to create 1 user? You can just use useradd -m username.



If you want to create multiple users, make a file with all the usernames, lets call it usernames. Then this for loop will be able to help you out.



for i in $( cat usernames ); do
 useradd -m $i
 echo "Adding user $i"
 echo $i:"P@ssW0rd" | chpasswd
done


You can also use the while loop as @Kusalananda pointed out :



while read username ;do
 useradd -m $username
 echo "Adding user $username"
 echo $username:"P@ssW0rd" | chpasswd
done < usernames

    What's with the cat? Why not while read ... done <usernames?

  • Hi Gurus, my boss requirement is to create a user with blank password on Solaris 10. I want know know if you happen to have a script the will automatically create user with blank password or with standard password (P@ssW0rd). The trick is that when you create a new user the password should have no user intervention. Here is the Example. # Script.sh (username) (password)

  • When you execute passwd it will require user intervention to keyin the password 2 times. I want to have a script that will eliminate the user intervention so everytime i create a new user with default password it has no user intervention. Thanks

I don't believe there is package for it under Solaris 10 (they added it to v11), but you could use expect. It's easy to use, as well as compile. I've done this in the past on Solaris 10 for various efforts.

They may even have an example that will meet your needs as a few are password related.

I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
