Good afternoon all. I am working on migrating users and data from one box
to another. I have gotten a little help from some programmers internally,
but am having a problem getting an awk script to run. I am including the
script and the error message. What I am trying to do here is effectively
import the passwd file from one server to another. I need to do this to
retain the file ownership of about 2 TB of data. I don't want to have to do
this manually and it needs to be seamless. Anything you can add or suggest
would be greatly appreciated.
awk -F: '{system("echo \"Welcome\nWelcome\" |useradd -m -s /bin/ksh -u "$3"
-g "$4" -d /home/"$1" -p -c \""$5"\" -x adminstrative_lock_applied=0 "1")}'
/home/jrjame/passwd
awk: The string or regular expression
)} cannot contain more than 2047 bytes.
The source line is 1.
The error context is
>>> <<<
syntax error The source line is 1.
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 1.
awk: There is a missing } character.
awk: There is a missing ) character.
Thanks again!!
