How do I get a list of all the users on my Linux machine in bash?

Output

There are several ways to get a list of users on a Linux system: 1. Using the `/etc/passwd` file: 

1
cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
or 
1
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
2. Using the `getent` command: 
1
getent passwd | cut -d: -f1
3. Using the `compgen` command: 
1
compgen -u
4. Using the `users` command (only shows currently logged-in users): 
1
users
5. Using the `who` command (shows logged-in users with more details): 
1
who
The first three methods will show all users on the system, while the last two only show currently logged-in users. Choose the method that best fits your needs.

How do I get a list of all the users on my Linux machine in bash?

Output

There are several ways to get a list of all users on a Linux system: 1. Using the `/etc/passwd` file: 

1
cat /etc/passwd
or to see just usernames: 
1
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
2. Using the `getent` command: 
1
getent passwd
or for just usernames: 
1
getent passwd | cut -d: -f1
3. Using the `compgen` command: 
1
compgen -u
4. Using the `awk` command: 
1
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
The `/etc/passwd` file contains all user information, including system users. If you want to see only normal users (typically with UIDs >= 1000), you can use: 
1
awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 { print $1 }' /etc/passwd
Any of these methods will work, choose the one that best fits your needs.

There are several ways to get a list of users on a Linux system: 1. Using the `/etc/passwd` file: 

1
cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
or simply: 
1
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
2. Using the `getent` command:

3. Using the `compgen` command: 
1
compgen -u
4. Using the `awk` command: 
1
awk -F: '{ print $1}' /etc/passwd
5. To list only users with login shells: 
1
cat /etc/passwd | grep -v /nologin | cut -d: -f1
6. To list system users with real login shells: 
1
grep /bin/bash /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
Any of these commands will give you a list of users, though they might show slightly different results depending on what exactly you're looking for (system users vs. regular users).

3. Using the `compgen` command (for all available usernames): 
1
compgen -u
4. Using the `awk` command: 
1
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
5. For human users only (UID >= 1000 by default): 
1
getent passwd {1000..60000}
or 
1
cat /etc/passwd | grep -E '^[^:]+:[^:]+:[0-9]{4}'
The `/etc/passwd` file contains all system and user accounts, while some of these commands can help you filter for specific types of users. Choose the method that best suits your needs.

Any of these methods will give you a list of users on your system. The first methods will show all users, including system users, while the last one shows only regular user accounts. Choose the method that best suits your needs. The `compgen -u` command is probably the simplest to remember and type.
