UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I just moved from AIX 4 to AIX 5.3. the command `who am i` is essential to our logon scripts; but it does not work anymore, it says the process is not attached to a terminal. Is it possible to run this command remotely? It works for remote root sessions. If it is not is there another way to accurately determine the IP address the remote session is currently using? Thanks

I solved my own problem, found out $$ is the PID of the current sesison, so instead of

Code:

who am i | awk '{print$6}'

I simply did

Code:

who -u | grep $$ | awk '{print$8}'

works great and everything is rolling along as it should again.

have you tried
whoami ?
