Monitoring root in the Password File.

[attitude]

I need some help with this script
It errors out on the third line: syntax error at line 3: '(' unexpected

Thanks for any help


#!/bin/sh

for id in 'awk 'FS=":" {if(($3 == 0 && $1 != "root" )) print $1}' /etc/passwd'
do
mail -s &quot;Root Access Alert&quot; root@rocket.foo.com << EOF

############################################################
#
# Alert Login ID 'echo ${id}' has uid 0
# 'date &quot;+Detacted On Date :%D Time :%r&quot;'
#
#
############################################################


EOF
done

Try this on line two to three:

for id in nawk 'FS=&quot;:&quot;{if(($3 == 0 && $1 != &quot;root&quot; )){print $1}}' /etc/passwd'

Well I got it to work, It helps if you use the correct syntax.
