Allowing awk to use shell variables
I am trying to run a script which pulls out all users from the /etc/passwd file, subjects that list of users to exclusion criteria (removing system users from the list such as root, lp, sys etc) and produces a new list of users. I need to pass the new list of users to awk to determine the users...- SiberianKhatru
