Hi you can use the following:<br />
<br />
#!/usr/bin/perl -w<br />
#<br />
#<br />
<br />
$WhoAmI = `whoami`;<br />
<br />
if($WhoAmI eq 'floyd') <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
hello,<br />
<br />
I want to have a script that will email the user once it is finished. For that I need to have a small function at the end that will check who the user is and then if it is 'floyd' if will send an email to floyd. <br />
<br />
the part I am having problems with is identifying the user , for that I though the unix command 'whoami' would be good.<br />
<br />
any ideas ,<br />
<br />
cheers,<br />

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
