Thanks all for the great idea.....
Reggie Beaver and Jon Godfrey provide with the fastest/simplest solution...
I'll just test the USER variable like so:
if [ ! "$USER" = root ]; then
#echo "You are not root"
./DOTHIS_SCRIPT
else
#echo "You are root"
./DOTHAT_SCRIPT
fi
Thanks for the quick responses.

Subject: Newbie question - determining the logged in user
All,
I'd like setup a few global variables and 'echos' for my users on my Solaris
8 system. I'd like to echo messages/instructions conditionally. I know I
can put such logic in the /etc/profile script. How can I determine which
users executing this universal script? I'm really only interested in
non-root users. Is there any way to determine if the user's root? Thanks
in advance.
Sincerely,
Billy Talton
