Your "groupadd" code uses $group_id which does not seem to be defined.

The linux command for deleting groups is "groupdel", not "delgroup".

Error-checking Linux return codes (use $? >> 8) would certainly help.

    I corrected the groupdel part. Not sure where group_id should be defined.

      Just take out the "-g $group_id" from the groupadd command.

      Let the system generate a new gid for you.
