[Casper] Bash Scripts using ~

[Ernst, Craig S.]

A few ways to get to the end results it seems. I've been using the following to get me a variable for $username

username=`/usr/bin/w | grep console | awk '{print $1}'`

Another idea would be this, make sure you test it out

current_user=`/usr/bin/finger -s -l | grep Login`

mkdir /Users/$current_user/testdir


When I su to root in the shell and run finger it still picks up my
account as being logged in.

I just tested using Ryan's script, and sure enough, the $3 variable
does not
work with logged in users (using Remote or Self Service).  It appears
that
variable only fills during login (or logout...I didn't test logout).
