not exactly, here a script I have done to had user from a list, you can
adapt it to fit your needs. This script create users with temporary
crypted password, add them to the mail server and crate an elementary
web page... Choose what you want (sorry for comments in French!):

#!/bin/bash

cat < list-of-users | while true
do
   read ligne
   if [ "$ligne" = "" ]; then break; fi
   echo "lecture de la ligne --->" $ligne
   set -- $ligne
   PRENOM=$1
   PRENOM2=$2
   NOM=$3
   LOGIN=$4
   COURRIER=$5
   LIEU=$6
   GROUP=$7
   PASSWD=`echo $PRENOM | cut -c1``echo $NOM | cut -c1`2005
#
   echo prenom=$PRENOM, prenom2=$PRENOM2 nom=$NOM login=$LOGIN
passwd=$PASSWD courrier=$COURRIER lieu=$LIEU
#
#creation des utilisateurs
   CRYPTPASSWORD=`/usr/sbin/slappasswd  -h {MD5} -c '$1$%.8s' -s $PASSWD
| cut -d "}" -f2`
   /usr/sbin/adduser -s /usr/bin/rssh  -p $CRYPTPASSWORD -g $GROUP $LOGIN
   echo "$COURRIER, \\$LOGIN" > /home/$LOGIN/\.forward
#
#courrier
   mkdir /home/$LOGIN/mail/
   cp /root/.subscriptions /home/$LOGIN/mail/
   echo "$PRENOM2.$LOGIN:  $LOGIN" >> /etc/mail/aliases
   echo "$LOGIN: $PRENOM2.$LOGIN" >> /etc/mail/revaliases
#
#page web
   mkdir /home/$LOGIN/public_html
   cat << xxFINxx > /home/$LOGIN/public_html/index.html
