The <code>grep</code> statement in the solution of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2481010/rups">rups</a> has some flaws:

E.g. <code>grepping</code> for a group <code>admin</code> may return <code>true</code> ("group exists") when there is a group <code>lpadmin</code>.

Either fix the <code>grep</code>-query

<pre><code>grep -q -E "^admin:" /etc/group
</code></pre>

or use

<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>if [ $(getent group admin) ]; then
 echo "group exists."
else
 echo "group does not exist."
fi
</code></pre>

blocks|key|2391015|text|Grepping+/etc/group工作，但仅在/etc/nsswitch.conf具有：|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|2391016|group:+files|code-block|syntax|javascript|2391017|这意味着在确定可用组时只会咨询/etc/group。使用其中任何一种(按名称或按gid)：|2391018|getent+group+<groupname>
getent+group+<groupid>|2391019|对于更一般的解决方案，检查退出状态:0表示“存在”，非零表示“不存在”。例如，要检查组'postgres‘是否存在，如果不存在，则创建它(假设bash+shell，以能够创建新组的用户身份运行)运行：|2391020|/usr/bin/getent+group+postgres+2>&1+>+/dev/null+%7C%7C+/usr/sbin/groupadd+postgres|2391021|entityMap^0|0|0|0|0|0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|Q|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|C|5|D|7|R|8|@]|9|@]|A|$E|F]]|$1|G|3|H|5|6|7|S|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|I|3|J|5|D|7|T|8|@]|9|@]|A|$E|F]]|$1|K|3|L|5|6|7|U|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|M|3|N|5|D|7|V|8|@]|9|@]|A|$E|F]]|$1|O|3|-4|5|6|7|W|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|P|$]]

Grepping /etc/group works, but only on a machine where /etc/nsswitch.conf has:
<pre><code>group: files
</code></pre>
meaning that only /etc/group is consulted when determining available groups. Use either of these (by name or by gid):
<pre><code>getent group &lt;groupname&gt;
getent group &lt;groupid&gt;
</code></pre>
for a more generic solution, checking the exit status: 0 means &quot;exists&quot;, non-zero means &quot;does not exist&quot;. For example, to check to see if group 'postgres' exists, and create it if it does not (assuming bash shell, running as a user able to create new groups) run:
<pre><code>/usr/bin/getent group postgres 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; /dev/null || /usr/sbin/groupadd postgres
</code></pre>

blocks|key|5215808|text|我发现将andiba的解决方案组合成一个适当的函数更有用：|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|5215809|function+grpexists+{

}|code-block|syntax|javascript|5215810|这可以通过在您的/etc/bash.bashrc*中包含此函数来调用到您的环境中，这样您就可以使用以下拼写检查是否存在一个组：|offset|length|style|CODE|5215811|grpexists+group_name|5215812|然后返回下列其中之一：|5215813|群group_name存在。|blockquote|5215814|或|5215815|组group_name不存在。|5215816|entityMap^0|0|0|8|H|0|0|0|0|0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|Z|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|C|5|D|7|10|8|@]|9|@]|A|$E|F]]|$1|G|3|H|5|6|7|11|8|@$I|12|J|13|K|L]]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|M|3|N|5|D|7|14|8|@]|9|@]|A|$E|F]]|$1|O|3|P|5|6|7|15|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|Q|3|R|5|S|7|16|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|T|3|U|5|6|7|17|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|V|3|W|5|S|7|18|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|X|3|-4|5|6|7|19|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|Y|$]]

I've found it more useful, to compose andiba's solution into a proper function:

<pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>function grpexists {
 if [ $(getent group $1) ]; then
 echo "group $1 exists."
 else
 echo "group $1 does not exist."
 fi
}
</code></pre>

This can for e.g be invoked into your environment by including this function in your <code>/etc/bash.bashrc*</code>, such that you can then check for the existence of a group, using the following spell:

<pre><code>grpexists group_name
</code></pre>

Which should then return one of:

<blockquote>
 group group_name exists.
</blockquote>

or

<blockquote>
 group group_name does not exist.
</blockquote>

blocks|key|2391112|text|极客们很棒的解决方案和指导，感谢大家在这里分享我的2分钱，让我们的生活变得更简单或更懒惰:-)我可以用来补充一个useradd脚本，我必须同时添加几个用户。我想知道几个组的for+in循环中会是什么样子:+group1、group2、group3...group6然后用户将类似这样的内容添加到系统中？|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|data|2391113|for+g+in+$(+cat+fewgroups.txt+);+do++++++++++groupadd+$g+++++++++++echo+"Group:"+$g+"Exist+not+added+moving+on"+++++++++else++++++++++echo+"Group:"+$g+"added+successfully!"++++++++++#+Then+create+the+users+++++++for+u+in+$(+cat+100sofusers.txt+);+do+++++++++useradd+-m+-g+group1+-G+group2,wheel+-d+/home/$u++-c+"Just+anothe+SiFiGeek"+-s+/bin/bash+$u++++++++++echo+"userID:"+$u+"added+successfully!"++++++++++echo+$u:$randompw+%7C+chpasswd++++++++++echo+"Password+for+userID:"+$u+"changed+successfully"+++++++done|offset|length|style|CODE|2391114|entityMap^0|0|0|E6|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|J|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|B|3|C|5|6|7|K|8|@$D|L|E|M|F|G]]|9|@]|A|$]]|$1|H|3|-4|5|6|7|N|8|@]|9|@]|A|$]]]|I|$]]

Geeks great solutions and guidance, thanks for sharing here are my 2 cents to make our lives simpler or lazier :-) I could use to complement an useradd script I have to add several users at once. I'm wondering how it would look like inside a for 
 in loop for several groups: group1, group2, group3...group6
Then useradd to the system something like this?

<code>for g in $( cat fewgroups.txt ); do
 groupadd $g 
 echo "Group:" $g "Exist not added moving on"
 else
 echo "Group:" $g "added successfully!"
 # Then create the users
 for u in $( cat 100sofusers.txt ); do
 useradd -m -g group1 -G group2,wheel -d /home/$u -c "Just anothe SiFiGeek" -s /bin/bash $u
 echo "userID:" $u "added successfully!"
 echo $u:$randompw | chpasswd
 echo "Password for userID:" $u "changed successfully"
 done</code>

this is a summary of what i want my code to do:

<pre><code>if (group exists)
then

 (add user to group)

else

 (create group)

 (add user to group)

fi
</code></pre>

I am using the Ubuntu virtual machine but all of the results i have found on similar sites do not work.
