I have just started learning the fundamentals of Unix and wondering why there are so many shells in a unix like system .

I came across this script a while back that i found. What i want to do is edit the script to create a default web page in /var/www/html when a new user is added through the script. What the script does now is adds a user and sets a password for the user.
