Hello I'm asking for assistance creating a script that automates an user setup in Linux Server using Ubuntu?
Also, how to create a script that backups shared files every 12 hours?

#!/bin/bash

# argument 1 is the user8d



useradd -U -m $1



exit 0

save the file as user.sh , type chmod a+x user.sh to make it executable
use it like this : sudo ./user.sh foobarr
this will create a user foobar with home directory /home/foobar and they will be in group foobar useradd will create the group foobar

if you want to set the password you need to use crypt
you may want to change the defaults for useradd to research it's capabilities try man useradd. the documentation says debian users which ubuntu is should use adduser, i'd advise against this in a script as there is an interactive section to the user creation process with adduser

To create users and set their password via commandline with
no questions asked the following script would work:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

adduser --disabled-password --gecos 'Seniya Lee' lee

echo "lee:buzzword" | chpasswd

Save this as au.sh for instance, make it executable
(chmod +x au.sh), and run it via sudo ./au.sh.
