[Samba] Timing in a script

[Pete Clapham]

Hi, all --

I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their samba passwords easily and quickly.  It looks something like:
   useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname

   echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u accountname

If
I type the lines from the keyboard, it works fine.  However, when I try
to execute the script, the pdbedit on the second line reports that
there's no unix accountname to apply to samba.  I assume that this is
because the useradd process hasn't finished when the pdbedit is
executed.  


Is there a way to insure that the useradd has completed its
execution before the pdbedit starts?  Alternatively is there a way to
insert a delay between the two commands to allow the useradd to
complete?

Thanks.


cheers,
pete
