Node module for Linux user and group control.
Use Node to manage Linux user easily. All APIs do what you think.
The module must be running on Linux and as root user !
$ npm install linux-user --save
- add Linux user
var linuxUser = require('linux-user');
linuxUser.addUser('gkuchan', function (err, user) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log(user);
// ------------------------------------------
// { username: 'gkuchan',
// password: 'x',
// uid: 1001,
// gid: 1001,
// fullname: '',
// homedir: '/home/gkuchan',
// shell: '/usr/sbin/nologin' }
// ------------------------------------------
});- get users
var linuxUser = require('linux-user');
linuxUser.getUsers(function (err, users) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log(users);
// ------------------------------------------
// [ { username: 'root',
// password: 'x',
// uid: 0,
// gid: 0,
// fullname: 'root',
// homedir: '/root',
