Hi All,

I need a help from u.I'm getting the home directory
from passwd.bak file.I need to find the disk usage of
that particular user.I'm getting output if i directly
substitue variable $username with exact username.But
i'm not getting output when i use in shell script.The
contents is as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Script for displaying diskusage based on user name
# Only username to be supplied by user
echo "\n Please enter the username:\c"
read username
awk -F":" '/$username/ { print $6 }' passwd.bak >
output
echo " Home Directory Of $username "
cat output
echo " Disk Usage in KB:"
sudo du -sk < output
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I really appreciate any kind of help on this.Thanks
in advance.

Regards,
Prasad
