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

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)
– user3581641
Jan 31 at 12:53
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

You should add that to your question then.
