cat $newldif
This causes the script to halt at some point and gives no output if you replace the 'cat' with 'echo'.

I've already tried using the here document and it doesn't seem to be working for me. What I am trying to do exactly is create an LDIF file for passing to an LDAP database. I have each line stored in an individual shell variable like so:
There are two ways to do this: 1) Create an ldif file, then call ldap* with that ldif file. 2) Just pass it all to ldap* on stdin.The syntax I've been trying looks like this: ldapadd -x -D $binddn -w "placepasswordhere" <<hrdoc line1="dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net"; line2="objectClass: top"<snip> Look at this: #!/bin/bash cat > $1.ldif <<hrdoc dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount uidNumber: $store uid: $1 cn: $1 gidNumber: $groupnum homeDirectory: /dev/null loginShell: /bin/false gecos: Machine Account description: Machine Account hrdoc Then you just do 'ldapadd -x -f $1.ldif blah blah blah'In all cases the here document doesn't seem to make it to the ldapadd command which I know reads from standard-in.
All you gotta do is change the "command" portion of the above that I
quoted:
#!/bin/bash
ldapadd -x blah blah blah <<hrdoc
