ldapsearch getting attribute list in specific order



I am surprised I haven’t tripped over this before.

 

ldapsearch –b ou=people, etc. uid pwdChangedTime mail

 

Wanting to e-mail people with expiring passwords.

 

I am counting on 4 lines for each person…

Dn:

UID:

pwdChangedTime:

mail:

 

in this exact order

 

but on the last one (which happens to be me, perhaps because I was the last one to change my password), my ‘mail’ attribute was returned before the pwdChangedTime attribute which would cause me to re-write the code to handle randomness of order of the output. Do I have to re-write my bash script?
