Overview

Study the Fabric API run(), sudo(), local(), and put() and utilize them to create a new Fabric task called userAdmin()
The userAdmin() task should perform the following activities on a remote machine to:
  • create a new user when necessary information is provided
  • delete an existing user when it is safe to do so.

Tasks for this assignment

In this assignment, you should perform the following activities:

  1. Complete a detail algorithm for the following FOUR system administrator operations:
    1. add a user account to a Linux system (task name addUser)
    2. determine whether a given user name exist on a Linux system (task name findUser)
    3. get a list of user account name with a command shell on a Linux system (listUser)
    4. get a list of system account name without a command shell on a Linux system (listSysUser)
  2. Create a corresponding fabric task using the fabric API to automate the above four system administrator operations.
  3. Test and debug your fabric file using your assigned VM in myvmlab.senecacollege.ca
