Hi,

thanks to both of you. Actually I was searching for a method in C but however...
I'll wrap my program in a shell script.

Just for completeness: I use
/opt/SUNWut/bin/utwho -c | grep $SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN | sed -e 's/.*\.\([0-9a-f]*\)/\1/'

This won't work if you logged in as root. To work with root in the above use utwho -ca.
Also it displays all the DTUs MAC ids if you are logged in to a MH group.

So I think the best bet is to use of the Brad's first suggestion i.e utdesktop ,
which seems to work in all conditions.

Thanks

I think "grep $USER" is a bad idea. You could have more than one session running :-)

Thanks
Marc

If the device is behind NAT, $UTDEVROOT will not be available so you would not be able to get to that path.

Alternatives to the method sent by P.S.M. which don't use UTDEVROOT are:

utdesktop -Lc | grep ${SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN} | cut -f 1 -d " "
utwho -c | grep $USER | nawk '{split($5,TMP,".");  print TMP[2]}'

Hi all,

I need some help with the following scenario:
We've two SunRays. One with a microphone attached and one without. Our program should behave different depending which SunRay the user is using. To be specific: The Sunray with the microphone attached should be able to use some resource to place a call. The other Sunray shouldn't be able to do that. However a user should be able to log into both Sunrays with the same username and password. So I need a possibility to distinct between these 2 Sunrays. I thought about using utwho and extract the MAC.However it would be nicer if I can get the MAC without a system(..) call? Any possiblility to get the MAC address with C? Any other idea?


If you just use only pseudo tokens then you can get the MAC id by just removing
the "pseudo." from the SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN variable .

Also ls -l $UTDEVROOT displays the MAC id but needs to do some scripting (awk and cut ) to get the exact MAC id and this should work for any type of
tokens.
