I have Active Directory authentication running on my system but I need to setup so that if root logs in you get prompt but if other users via AD login it executes a script in /etc/profile:

> .sh_history
exec csession cache -U HHM "^ZU"
exit


This way all users can run the application and then exit.But root will goto the prompt #.

I was thinking something like "if UID=>0 exec .....


Any help would be appreciated

 
'whoami' should work, but this parses the id command to get the real user:

Code:
# get the real user id
realuser=$(id|sed -e 's,^[^(]*(,,' -e 's,).*$,,' -e 1q)
case $realuser in
   root | olded )
    echo "root or olded"
    ;;
   *)
    echo "blah"
      exit 0
    ;;
esac
