validate a user in a script

[Patrice Blanchard_2]

Hi,

what is wrong with this picture?

user=`whoami`
if $user = "bsp150"
then
user="blanchap"
else
fi

All i want to do is change the variable user to blanchap if user that is running the script is bsp150.

i'm missing something.

regards

PB

Hi,

#!/bin/sh
user=`whoami`
if [ "$user" = "bsp150" ]
then
user="blanchap"
fi

Patrice,

Try this:

user=`whoami`
echo $user
if [ $user = "bsp150" ]
then
user="blanchap"
fi
echo $user

How about:

usr=$(whoami | sed 's/^bsp150$//')
echo ${usr:="blanchap"}
