Bash Scripting

[cuban]

I have a script to call on a file

#!/bin/sh
#Define Variables
username=`awk -F: '{print $1}' /tmp/new.webhost`
userweb=`awk -F: '{print $2}' /tmp/new.webhost`
userpass=`awk -F: '{print $3}' /tmp/new.webhost`

#Do this!
useradd -g 200 -s /bin/false -d /webs/$userweb $username
chmod -R 755 $userweb
chown -R $username $userweb
chgrp -R webhosting $userweb
echo $userpadd | passwd $username --stdin
echo "<VirtualHost 216.110.5.16>" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "DocumentRoot /webs/$userweb" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "ServerName $userweb" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "</VirtualHost>" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart


My problem is when it reads a file with more than one line of delimited text, it adds that field in all at the same time! Instead of running it many times!

[-/tmp/new.webhost-]
cuban:cuban.com:cubapass
usa:usa.com:uspass
[-/tmp/new.webhost-]


useradd -g 200 -s /bin/false -d /webs/cuban.com
usa.com cuban usa

I would like for it just it repeate the useradd, and the rest of the commands by running the line over and over... Is this possible?

How can I solve this?

We are really pushing the limits of my limited bash scripting knowledge now!
Try this for a quick fix and see if it works. Guess I will just have to go out a get a book on bash scripting. ;D

#!/bin/bash

#Define Variables
READ_FILE=/tmp/new.webhost

#Add users
cat $READ_FILE &#124; while read line
do
username=`echo $line &#124; cut -f1 -d":"`
userweb=`echo $line &#124; cut -f2 -d":"`
userpass=`echo $line &#124; cut -f3 -d":"`

echo "Adding user: " $username

/usr/sbin/useradd -g 200 -s /bin/false -d /webs/$userweb $username
/bin/chmod -R 755 $userweb
/bin/chown -R $username $userweb
/bin/chgrp -R webhosting $userweb
echo $userpass &#124; passwd $username --stdin
echo "<VirtualHost 216.110.5.16>" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "DocumentRoot /webs/$userweb" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "ServerName $userweb" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf
echo "</VirtualHost>" >> /etc/httpd/conf/named-virtual.conf

done
#I put this here assuming you can restart once after all the new users have been added.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

exit 0

Works really well, thank you!
