guys I need emergency help with below shell script assignment..am new to shell script
[LEFT]Write a Shell script to automatically check that a specified user is logged in to the
computer.
The program should allow the person running the script to specify the name of the
user to be checked, the frequency in seconds at which the script should check. If a
checking frequency is not specified, it should default to 60 seconds
The script should check for the specified user and if found should output a message
with a �beep� or �bell� sound to the screen stating that the user is logged in. It should
also output a message to a log file stating that the user is logged in and specifying the
date and time.
If the user is not logged in the script should output a message without any �beep�
sound to the screen stating that the user is not logged in.
The script should allow a person running the script to specify the user name on the
command line and optionally, a check frequency in seconds and a third argument �q�
�q� . If �q� is present as a third argument, The script should omit any output to the
screen or �beep� sound but should log to a log file the message stating that the user is
logged in and giving the time.
The command to run the script would be as follows:
checklogin username 30 q where �checklogin� is the script name, �username� is the
name of the user, �30� is the optional frequency to check in seconds, and �q� is the
optional argument to suppress screen output.
The script should check that the number of arguments supplied is between 1 and 3 and
if it is not, should terminate with an error message showing the correct syntax for the
command.
