Write a Bash script for adding a new user to your system. Your script should do the following:
- Prompt the user to enter the user name.
- Create a new user using
useradd
. - Prompt the user to enter a strong password (8 characters or more) and set it using
passwd
. - Prompt the user to enter a default group name.
- Append the entered group name to the user groups using
usermod -aG <groupname> <username>
. - If there’s an error during the previous step, the script should remain in the same step and not proceed to the next step.
- At the end, the script should ask the user to confirm creating the new user with a message. If the user decided not to create the user, delete it using
userdel -r <user_name>
.
Your script should make use of “if statements” and “functions”.
Submit a PDF file that contains your bash script and screenshots of your system showing the execution of the script and the output.
