This application was driven by the academic requirements for a class assignment. Maintaining a source of version controll allows me the ability to roll back to a previous working state, and to also improve upon this work at a later time if needed. Please keep in mind that this is for an academic assignment, and that this has not been completely vetted for any commercial use.

Create a script that can be run from the crontab or the command line that helps you administer accounts. The script should allow accounts to be created, modified and account status to be reported. The script should be able to do the following:

• Report all the users that don’t have a password.

• If an account does not have a password, the program will automatically lock the account and report that the account has been locked.

• Report all expired accounts.

• Report the expiration date/time for all accounts.

• Report all accounts that do not expire.

• Unlock or Lock user accounts specified on the command line.

• Add a user account to the system (interactive only – not run from the crontab).

• Specify the username, home directory, user’s full name, password, and expiration date.

• You should be able to specify the usernames to be created on the command line or from a file specified on the command line. The script should either query for the detailed information or read it from the file.

• When adding an account, the user should have to reset their password upon first login into the system.

• Change the expiration date for users specified on the command line.

• Do not allow the root account to have an expiration date.

• The script should be able to write the results to a log file specified on the command line.
