Novell username variable

Hi all,

 

just a quick blog about a variable I discovered whilst writing a login script. I've been looking around for ways to perform actions based on the user name. So I came across the %nwusername% variable which when tapped in gives you the name of the logged in novell user on a computer. Those of you who work with novell systems will know that the novell network user is separate from the workstation user so normally you get a login for the network then you are presented with the local user login as well.Which will give you a problem if you use the %username% variable as it will only tell you the workstation user and not the novell user.

 

Anyway I'll blog again shortly and post up the script I'm working on, nothing fantastic but I think it would be good if I can get it to work with blat so the script emails me when it has been run inside a user account.
