Anyone here have any sample script, using BASH, for adding user. The script can define:

• home directory
• quota
• create public_html folder
• update shadow password (in replace to manually using passwd

particularly to related user)

Thank you.

No but it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to write one. All you would need is to run a script like this:

useradd foo setquota foo 102000000 102000000 0 0 /home #this is 100GB mkdir /home/foo/public_html echo plain_pass | passwd --stdin foo

You can also have the script read command line arguments so you can specify the user name as an argument and read it using $1.

Also, you shouldn't edit the shadow file directly, that's what the passwd command is for.
