cloneuser

cloneuser – { Flexible User Cloning Utility }

cloneuser is a simple shell application that helps you clone users for any purpose

{ Program Options }

Usage: cloneuser [olduser] [newuser]

{ Program Setup }

This program is going to be installed by default in your $HOME/bin directory, however, in order for it to work properly, it has to run with superuser privileges upon invocation so it has to either be moved, or have a symbolic link into the /usr/local/bin directory (or /bin or /usr/bin, but /usr/local/bin is recommended).

If you have not set your $HOME/bin in the $PATH, see this snippet in our Knowledge Base

Download the tarball containing the cloneuser utility from the link towards the bottom and do the following:

Move the downloaded tar file into your home directory

Expand the tar file in a terminal by issuing: tar xf cloneuser<version>.tar

Either move the executable from your $HOME/bin into /usr/local/bin by running:

sudo mv $HOME/bin/cloneuser /usr/local/bin

or create a symbolic link into /usr/local/bin by running:

sudo ln -s $HOME/bin/cloneuser /usr/local/bin/cloneuser

Invoke the program from the terminal, running sudo cloneuser to see a message for the program usage
