As of nodejs v12+ you can do this both synchronously and async on Linux,
with:
process.getusername = function() {
var username = require('child_process').execSync( "whoami", { encoding:
'utf8', timeout: 1000 } );
return String(username).trim();
}
Be warned that this is the synchronous example, so bad for web servers!
