These are the commands i tried thus far...all i get are a list of all the accounts auch as "apache service user" "sas administrator account" "control-m agent user" "ftp user" "and a whole lot of generic account names

Code:

echo "$(nawk -F: -v user=$(logname) '$1 == user {print $5}' /etc/passwd)"
echo $(grep "$username" /etc/passwd| awk -F: '{print $5}' )
echo $(grep "$username" /etc/passwd| nawk -F: '{print $5}' )

The command you gave returns the same things though in a line to account name. No actual user names are in this list more just account user types

Thanks for the assistance though.
