https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/getuid-and-c-program/m-p/2743760#M68360 I am having great difficulty in writing the following C program,..<BR /><BR />main()<BR />{<BR />int curruid;<BR />char commandline[1024];<BR /><BR />curruid=getuid();<BR />strcat(commandline, "/usr/local/bin/script1.sh ");<BR />strcat(commandline, curruid);<BR /><BR />system(commandline);<BR />}<BR /><BR />This program is designed to get the current uid of the person running the program and pass it to the Shell script for validation. However, C will not permit me to convert the integer value of getuid() to a string to concatenate to the command line. I have tried various combinations and all end up using the number passed as an ASCII value rather than its actual value.<BR /><BR />Anyone know of any methods of converting this?<BR /><BR />Thanks, Ian Dennison<BR /> Thu, 13 Jun 2002 07:27:35 GMT Ian Dennison_1 2002-06-13T07:27:35Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/getuid-and-c-program/m-p/2743760#M68360 I am having great difficulty in writing the following C program,..<BR /><BR />main()<BR />{<BR />int curruid;<BR />char commandline[1024];<BR /><BR />curruid=getuid();<BR />strcat(commandline, "/usr/local/bin/script1.sh ");<BR />strcat(commandline, curruid);<BR /><BR />system(commandline);<BR />}<BR /><BR />This program is designed to get the current uid of the person running the program and pass it to the Shell script for validation.
