@Derek Go step by step. You don't need to code the whole thing at once. Write down every problem you need to solve. Then try to solve problem by problem. Use the terminal to test code, you don't need to write it everytime in a file and run it. Use google with key words: "bash command find user id". You will have tons of results (the bests from stackexchange). Test the commands in terminal, see what the output is, try sed, grep, cut... etc to parse the that output. Think on what control structure could you use: if, for, while, etc. Have in mind that coding needs practice.

| Apr 9, 2020 at 20:57 | comment | added | Derek | I don't know how to differentiate and make the correct output appear. Am I suppose to use one big if statement? How do I tell it to appear is not a valid user if its not a valid user, if the user is logged on, if it's not logged on. | |

I honestly don't know where to start or the setup that I need. I tried my best to explain what I need done into words but I don't know how to translate that into code. I am just learning this. I'll try right now. I have the if statement for the arguments which I posted above. If user doesn't give an argument when executing the script, then it will ask the user what username. Then the else will go through the checks of whether or not the user exists, whether they are logged in, etc. (like the code examples I wrote above) I guess I am stuck on the checks part and implementing that?

I tell you this because this question is also gonna be closed, unless you edit it showing specific problems, from actual code. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 20:11 | comment | added | Derek | Does not. My last question got locked because I kept editing it to make it clearer. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 20:09 | comment | added | Kusalananda♦ | In what way is this different from your last question? | |
