Subject: SUMMARY - Newbie question - determining the logged in user

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
