Help on this loop

[thaiZilla]

userlist=`who | cut -d " " -f1`
linetotal=`cat $userlist| wc -l`
linenumber='1'

while [ $linenumber -le linetotal ]
do
username=`somestuff` put that in for now

basically i want the username variable to be equal to the first line from who | cut -d " " -f1`...and from the loop move to the next line of `who | cut -d " " -f1` and so on until the loop is cleared...

any ideas thanks

You might consider this:

[CODE]
userlist=`who | cut -d " " -f1`
for username in $userlist
do
<whatever you need to do with $username>
done
[\CODE]

Let me know if this was helpful.

Also, please keep the vulgarities out of your threads. It is not tolerated on this site and this is your warning. I have bolded the word that I replaced the vulgarity with.
