Is there any generic way to detect user's existence over RHEL and
Solaris? I want to write a shell script to do so. Thanks.
Leaving issue of non-atomicness aside, you could use the id command
for that. 'id <username>' while return a non-zero exit status the user
does not exist.
Alternate method #1:
groups <username>
Alternate method #2:
getent passwd <username>
