Hi there,

is there a variable or anything that can give you the user name of the user currently logged into a KDE session?

I just found LOGNAME, but I dunno if this is a KDE specific variable.

How can you request the current logged in user from KDE?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but "whoami" (or "id -un") will print the username of the calling user.
If you want a list of all users currently running a KDE session, try "ps -Ao %U%c | grep ksmserver" as a starting point.
For a list of all currently logged in users, try "finger"

In addition, the variable $USER often also contains the username of the current user - although this could be distribution specific.
