USR_NAME=`uname -u -n`
is one way.
But type "env" and look at the environment variables that are set for you. Most versions of unix will set LOGNAME for you and you can use that.

printenv
PRINTENV(1) BSD General Commands Manual PRINTENV(1)
NAME
printenv, env -- print out the environment, set and print environment
SYNOPSIS
printenv [name]
env [-i] [name=value ...] [utility [argument ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The printenv utility prints out the names and values of the variables in the environment, with one name/value pair per line. If name is
specified, only its value is printed.
Some shells may provide a builtin printenv command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
The env utility executes utility after modifying the environment as specified on the command line. The option name=value specifies an envi-
ronment variable, name, with a value of value.
The options are as follows:
-i Execute the utility with only those environment values specified. The environment inherited by env is ignored completely.
If no utility is specified, env prints out the names and values of the variables in the environment, with one name/value pair per line.
The env utility is sometimes useful with the ``#!'' construct (see execve(2)). The only difference between ``#!/usr/local/bin/foo'' and
``#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/foo'' is that the latter works even if /usr/local/bin/foo is itself interpreted. Using env this way also
allows one to reference foo without the path, as well as set up the environment as desired.
ENVIRONMENT
The env utility uses the PATH environment variable is used to locate the requested utility if the name contains no '/' characters.
DIAGNOSTICS
The printenv utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
The env utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. An exit status of 126 indicates utility was found, but could not be executed.
An exit status of 127 indicates utility could not be found.
COMPATIBILITY
The env utility accepts the - option as a synonym for -i.
SEE ALSO
csh(1), sh(1), execvp(3), environ(7)
STANDARDS
The env utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
The printenv command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
The env utility doesn't handle utility arguments with equal (``='') signs in their names, for obvious reasons.
