I just figured out a way to echo my username:

Code:
cd ~; pwd|awk -F"/" '{print $NF}'

So I know that pwd shows your path, but I don't know what the stuff to the right of that does.


Also, for #1:
The name of the file is going to be "light.#.r"
The # can be found using this command:

Code:
a_get a_firstfield

I don't know how to use that in the script to echo the username of the person who created that file light.#.r though.
