Assignment
You now need to write a script for user maintenance. Write a script that will perform the following tasks:
• Prompt the system administrator for all valid input parameters
• Generate a menu to ask which task is needed to be performed
• Create a UNIX group
• Drop a UNIX group
• Create a user
• Drop a user
Note that as part of the Create User section, a UNIX group many be identified that does not already exist, so that group will need to be created as part of the process.
A third script that you need to write will kill all of the processes associated with a user. The following are the requirements:
• Prompt the system administrator for the target user name
• List the running processes for that user
• Confirm with the system administrator before killing the processes
• Kill the processes after confirmation
It is very important to note with this task that you should only kill processes for a user and his or her running processes; do not arbitrarily kill running daemons.
• Include a discussion about the difference between user processes and daemons.
o What are daemons, and what are they used for?
o What are the consequences of killing a daemon using this script?
• Add the 2 scripts and the discussion about daemons to the project template section "UNIX Processes."
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
