User Account Management

In this Project, you will create a bash script that provides options for managing user accounts on the system. The script should allow users to perform various user account-related tasks based on command-line arguments.

Part 1: Account Creation

1. Implement an option -c or --create that allows the script to create a new user account. The script should prompt the user to enter the new username and password.

2. Ensure that the script checks whether the username is available before creating the account. If the username already exists, display an appropriate message and exit gracefully.

3. After creating the account, display a success message with the newly created username.

Part 2: Account Deletion

1. Implement an option -d or --delete that allows the script to delete an existing user account. The script should prompt the user to enter the username of the account to be deleted.

2. Ensure that the script checks whether the username exists before attempting to delete the account. If the username does not exist, display an appropriate message and exit gracefully.

3. After successfully deleting the account, display a confirmation message with the deleted username.

Part 3: List User Accounts

1. Implement an option -l or --list that allows the script to list all user accounts on the system. The script should display the usernames and their corresponding user IDs (UID).

Part 4: Help and Usage Information

1. Implement an option -h or --help that displays usage information and the available command-line options for the script.

Bonus Points (Optional)

If you want to challenge yourself further, you can add additional features to the script, such as:

• Create , Delete the Groups
• Displaying more detailed information about user accounts (e.g., home directory, shell, etc.).
• Allowing the modification of user account properties (e.g., username, user ID, etc.).

Remember to handle errors gracefully, provide appropriate user prompts, and add comments to explain the logic and purpose of each part of the script.
