My script is below and it all works well and fine, however I need to have checks put in for erroneous user input during the smbldap-passwd functions and the ldapadd functions. I've figured out a statement that will look at the exit status of the command and it will remove the user that was added in the previous step and exit but I can't figure out how to put these if statements into my existing script without breaking it. Yes, I'm a new shell scripter so any help will be greatly appreciated.
