Get username in script
how would i go about getting the username of the person currently logged in, and then using the username in a shell script? i've tried variations of
user=whoami , 'whoami' , $whoami , and none of the above work
lol
I'd like to get the username to then mount a network share such that the command would be,
mount_afp afp://username@dc.fqdns.edu/username /Users/username/Desktop/Home
any help on how to accomplish this would be IMMENSELY appreciated :] thanks
