deleteInactiveUsers.zsh

This script deletes users that have not logged in within the last specified number of days. This script uses multiple input parameters for configuring the script.

Parameters:

4. Mode (DEBUG | TESTING) - DEBUG will display additional output - TESTING mode will not delete any accounts (You can use both of these at the same time, just separate them with a space.)
5. Number of days of inactivity (e.g. 10 → the account will be deleted when it has been inactive for 10 or more days.)
6. Users to not delete (separate usernames with a space)
7. (I'm using this parameter internally to differentiate between different types of accounts. I did not include this parameter in the script.)
