Managing user accounts is a critical administrative task in Linux systems. Automating these tasks with Bash scripts can save time and reduce errors. In this guide, we will walk through creating a Bash script to handle common user account operations such as creating users, deleting users, and modifying user attributes. Here’s a foundational Bash script to manage user accounts: #!/bin/bash # Variables
LOG_FILE="/path/to/user_management.log" # Log file for user management actions # Function to create a user
create_user() { local USERNAME=$1 if id "$USERNAME" &>/dev/null; then echo "[$(date)] ERROR: User $USERNAME already exists.
