try backquotes, not normal quotes. `/usr/bin/id -un`
> if [ '/usr/bin/id -un' = "zokiphoto" ]; then
this will always test false - you are testing if "/usr/bin/id -un" is the
same as "zokiphoto" - which obviously is false. backquotes EXECUTE what is
inside them, then substitute the value.
Try that,
Tim
