Awk scripting Question

Awk scripting Question

Hey Guys,

I am trying to do some cleanup work on one of my linux systems and am
having problems with a script that I am writing.. Hopefully someone here
can help me out:

ls /home_nfs > > /tmp/users
foreach user(`cat /tmp/users`)
(echo `grep '/$user: ' /home/Home_Script/passwd` | awk -F : '{print
$6} ' | awk -F / '{print "/ "$2 "/ "$3} ' > > /tmp/home_dir)
end

It looks like the script is failing at the echo `grep '/$user: '
/home/Home_Script/passwd` part.. Anyone know what I am doing wrong.

What I am trying to achieve is this:

I have a file /tmp/users with all usernames and I want to grep for those
users names in /etc/passwd and create another directory with just the home
dir entries.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
