Script not returning what I am expecting
Hi there

I am trying to create a script where I am checking the process is being run by the correct user, when I go to run the script it is not returning what I am expecting and I am not 100% sure why!!!

First off I have determined what the process user should be at the top of the script
Code:
enterprise_manager_user="casupport"

Then I have ran the process as I would normally in the command line
Code:
em_process_user=`ps -efl | grep 'Introscope_Enterprise_Manager.lax' | grep -v grep| awk '{print $3}'`

- An example below on the return from that:
Code:
[casupport@wycvlapph048 enterprisemanager]$ ps -efl | grep 'Introscope_Enterprise_Manager.lax' | grep -v grep| awk '{print $3}'
root
[casupport@wycvlapph048 enterprisemanager]$

I have then wrote my script saying if the em_process_user = enterprise_manager_user then do this if not do this. I am expecting it to return as root but as determined at the top of the script I have said enterprise_manager_user should = user casupport so should alert however it doesn't
Code:
if [ "$em_process_user"="$enterprise_manager_user" ]
then
        em_process_user_flag=0
else
        em_process_user_flag=1
fi

echo $em_process_user_flag
echo $em_process_user

When I execute the script it comes with the following:
Code:
[casupport@wycvlapph048 enterprisemanager]$ ./test.sh
0
root

Surely it should come back as 1?

Thanks in advance for any help!

locale::script

Locale::Script(3perl)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     Locale::Script(3perl)

NAME

       Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. The ones currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA".

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       numeric
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC".

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes man page.
