    Hello Himanshu,
    ISIM performs the following command for one of the files /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, depending if you use or not shadow file:
       cat <passwd_or_shadow_file> |grep -e ^<user>:
    then it retrieves the following character of the first colon character ":".
    If that character is the ASCII-33 "!", then it retuns inactive, else it returns active.

    Hope it helps!
