We’ll start by
1.cat /etc/passwd
2.As we all know that by default all the users created will have their
home directories in /home share
so we’ll modify our command a bit by using grep.
Now it’ll be
cat /etc/passwd | grep “/home”
3. Now we’ll get all the user accounts which have their home share in /home.
But the only output we need is the list of users & nothing else.
4. So we’ll modify our command again
cat /etc/passwd | grep “/home” |cut -d: -f1
Now what we have done is that we have piped the output of previous
command to another variable “cut”
What we have done here is we have added
cut -d: -f1
-d: means delimiter :
-f1 means display first field of line i.e. username.
So final command is
Cat /etc/passwd |grep “/home” |cut -d: -f1
This works until all your users have their home share in /home. If you
have defined their home share to some other destination. Modify the
above command.
