💖 ROTATE-LINUX-PASSWORD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Command Manual, section 1 — this is the rotate-linux-password(1) page and it's literally gonna change your whole password-rotation era. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

rotate-linux-password — rotates the password of a Linux user account 🔐✨

like, it takes a user's password and spins it. rotates it. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rotate-linux-password <username>

one command, one argument, zero drama. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the rotate-linux-password script exists for exactly one iconic purpose: rotating the password of a Linux user account. periodt. 💅

this script takes one option, and that option is the thing that tells it which username's password should be rotated. that's it. that's the whole job.

and bestie, listen — if you do not provide the username option? the script will exit with an error message. it's not gonna guess. it's not gonna vibe-check your intent. it just leaves. 😭 so like, always give it the username, mwah. 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • <username> — specify the username whose password should be rotated. that's the one. the only one. the main character. ⭐

🌈 USAGE 🌈

to use this script, run the following command:

rotate-linux-password <username>

put your actual username where <username> is, obviously. italic placeholder energy. 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

say you wanna rotate the password for the user "jdoe". you'd do:

rotate-linux-password jdoe

and boom. that's it. ate. 🔥
