Script owner

Unix or Linux? — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 10:31:45 GMT

How can I find the user name of the person who is executing a particular script.

For example: who is executing Script1

Hi,

If the script is being currently executed then
1. you can do a ps -eaf | grep script1
This would show you teh person executing
2. If you know thw full pathname of the script you can also do
fuser -u /path/script1
This will show which users have opened the file for use.

Regards,
Ninad

Hi:

If you happen to be able to look at the process list at the time the script is executing, then you could determine "who".

# UNIX95= ps -fC yourscript

If you want, you could add code to your script to log the user who runs it. SOmething as simple as:

# echo "`date` via `id`" >> $HOME/mytrace

Otherwise, you would be forced to enable full system auditing.
