[Solved] How to get domain user name. User whoami

[ruyzz]

With "Whoami" I get the user's name through the terminal Ctrl + Alt + T, but with bash it has root.

#! / bin / bash

usr = $ (whoami)

But through bash it gives me root and not the current username.

Please help me!

That means you're running your script with sudo. Is that needed?

In that case you can use the environment variable $SUDO_USER, it will have the name of the user that invoke sudo yourscript.sh. This variable is set by sudo.

Reliable way in bash is to test if $EUID equals 0 (zero). If so, your script is running as root. In that case use the $SUDO_USER variable for the username. Otherwise (user is running your script as themselves) you can use $USER variable.

Thank you.

I have another problem. I want to access the desktop taking into account the current user, but it returns me:

domain \ user, when it should be: domain / user

The problem is the backslash.

You can use sed:

Code: Select all

$ echo "user \ domain" | sed 's/\\/\//g'
user / domain

Are environmental variables an option: $USER, $HOSTNAME

Type set|less to view.

Bash documentation: HOSTNAME
Login documentation: USER
