Hey I'm super new to bash scripting. My work needs me to do something like this:
Add a list of students to the gsenstudents group, retaining the accounts that are already in the group. The list of students is in an Excel spreadsheet in CSV form, consisting of Studentid, Lastname, and Firstname of each student to be added.
I am required to write a bash script to use a MySQL database to determine the Linux username of each student in the provided CSV file. Add the username of each student with an account to a file called gsenstudents_groupadd.sh.
a. Each line that is added should have the command to add the username to the gsenstudents group.
b. Check to make sure not to add a username that is already in the group.
CSV file contains Student ID, last name and first name as three fields.
MYSQL database contains username, ID, last and first name.
Any help is appreciated.
