What I'm looking for here is a general approach and a couple of specifics. I have a bourne shell script that is invoked from within a Makefile. How in the bourne shell can I get the userid of the person who inovked the make? I then want to locate the Makefile and remove the dependency from the 'all' target that caused the script to be invoked. So how do I determine the path of the Makefile? thanx in advance, greg s., dataproducts, woodland hills, ca.

Well, I suppose sed/ed scripts would work, but I was always taught that programs that change their own code was a bad idea. Instead, you set flags that tell the code to skip sections. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jay @ SAC-UNIX, Sacramento, Ca.
