I can't seem to understand where I'm making the mistake in the next
script. Basically, it has to test for the username and accordingly start
other scripts. I figured out I should be using "id", export it and then do
an if construction to test for the name of the user. The script seems to
scip the "testing part" and goes straight to the else statement. Where
would be the problem? Keep in mind I'm only starting with scripting.
********* The script *********************
#!/bin/sh
if [ '/usr/bin/id -un' = "zokiphoto" ]; then
### commands ###
elif [ '/usr/bin/id -un' = "root" ]; then
### commands ###
else
### exit message ###
exit 1
fi
Thanks!
Zoki.
