how would I write a simple shell script to read each line of a .txt file (that contains a username) Then echo for each line a command applied to that username...

So.... echo "vxquota -v Username"

using the quota command

Perl example

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
while(<>)
 {
   print "vxquota -v $_";
 }

Usage: ./example.pl file_names_with_usernames
Bash/sh exaple

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for USERNAME in `cat file_names_with_usernames` 
do
 echo "vxquota -v $USERNAME"
done
