Just as an appendix the ooRexx Unix installation code (for setting up
BSF4ooRexx which needs to run
with root privileges when installing it globally) which determines the real
user name (for the
installation logfile):
... cut ...
setupBSF.rex- -- get and save logName and sudoUser-Name
setupBSF.rex- cmd.eLogName = value('LOGNAME', ,'ENVIRONMENT') -- get
current logname, could be 'root' if sudo'ing
setupBSF.rex: cmd.eSudoUser = value('SUDO_USER', ,'ENVIRONMENT') --
maybe sudo'ing, then who is the sudo user
setupBSF.rex-
setupBSF.rex- if cmd.eLogName="root", cmd.eSudoUser<>"" then
setupBSF.rex- cmd.eRealUserName=cmd.eSudoUser
setupBSF.rex- else
setupBSF.rex- cmd.eRealUserName=cmd.eLogName
... cut ...
