Hello, I would to be able to cancel a script I've written if I run it as root.I know there is a command "whoami" to know who is running the script, but first, I would like the script :"Be careful, you are running it as root" "please, switch to user xxxx, and rerun it. "Do you want to abort that script, or else, to run it " as root". you can see the idea; I've tried with : echo "blablalaalaal" whoami echo "blbalalblbala"but I can't put the result of "whoami" in the text displayed. the result is always written on the next line, like :blbablablaa john blbambamabma instead of : blabambamaba john blabalabmambaba I've tried with : echo "bbalbalbaba" && whoami but the result is always on two lines. Another try I made was : whoami = whoami echo "blabalababama &whoami balbabababamabab"It's not a big deal, but I like cosmetic stuff like those when I write a script. Thanks. Francois--
Why do you not use the "id -u" command and check for 0 as result? -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center [RHRK], Systems and Operations, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
