I am trying to create a script to go through /etc/passwd and change anyone who's home directory is "/mnt/home" to "/mnt/<username on linux server>". I have been playing around with loops and regular expressions but have not got anything close to the results i want. I have roughly 1000 users so changing them all by hand is quite the pain.
so basically im trying to do something like the following: Original - user:x:1000:100:user:/mnt/home:/bin/bash what i want - user:x:1000:100:user:/mnt/user:/bin/bash any suggestions? thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/scripting-help-tf4517825.html#a12887532 Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
