    I'm trying to develop a Unix script, that I can call from a job name in Portal. (I already know one way of doing that.)
    I'm in need of the logged in persons id though, and am struggling on what I can use to find it out.
    I know that it exists in the LDAP as their cn and also as lwsnssoRMId, but how do I extract one of those values in my shell script?
    I'm a little brain-dead today.

      When a core user logs in from Portal, will he/she then have environment variables of LOGNAME and LAWENVNAME set that I could pull for my script usage?

        Help me understand, do you need the user id running the Unix scripts?

          Yes. I need the person's ID that is currently running the script. The person would be running the script through the Lawson Portal session though, so they are not truly logged on to the machine.

            If they are batch users, they have ENV identities in RM that are tied to Unix IDs, can you use the variable $USER to identify the user id in the script?

              Would I need to extract that variable or would it just be present?
              Thanks much,
