This seems OK to me. One last thing may be that instead of 'exit 1'
you could have:
echo "ERROR: Condor can not run under unlocked non-system account 'condor'" 1>&2
exit 1
so that people know why it is failing. It would be better also to
devnull the output of adduser, otherwise you'll get spurious error
messages:
if ! adduser --system --group --gecos "$condor_gecos" --home $condor_home \
--disabled-password --disabled-login $condor_user --quiet 2>/dev/null;
then
Thanks, it's great it got solved so fast :)
