Hi all,
Is there any function to get the user name if uid is known, and vice versa ? Similar for group.
Thanks,
cat /etc/passwd | grep ^.*:x:500: | awk -F: '{print $1}' cat /etc/passwd | grep ^.*:x:[0-9]*:500 | awk -F: '{print $1}'
This is probably not what you want but it does return a name from uid or gid...
