catch user's login and add it to an email in a script

[Patrice Blanchard_2]

Hi,

in a script, i want to catch to login of the user and add it to an email address so that i can do a mailx to it but i'm missing something.

EX:

elist= '???@domain.com'

mailx -s "test" $elist

is there a way to do a whoami into a variable and add this login to '@domain.com'.

regards

elist=`whoami`@domain.com

should do what you need

Hi,

Do this,

User_id=`/usr/bin/whoami`
elist=$User_id@domain.dom

Hope this helps.

This should do it:

#!/usr/bin/sh

ELIST=$(who am i | awk '{print $1}')"@domain.com"
echo "Elist = ${ELIST}"

I should add that ${LOGNAME} is probably already stuffed for you so that a simple approach would be:

ELIST="${LOGNAME}@domain.com"

Hi,

elist=$(whoami)@domain.com

should do the trick
