Reads and parses user information from /etc/passwd or a specified filespec, and provides simple operations on the collection of users, and individual users.
This code was written as an example of something Ruby could be useful for when administering a Unix system.
It's just a starting point, and lacks necessary error checking and polish.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'simple-unix-users'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install simple-unix-users
:w
require 'simple-unix-users'
users = Users.new
# or
users = Users.new('my-test-passwd-file')Then you can use the services provided by the Users and User classes.
