[17:23] <ColinHarrington> what IRC clients are folks using?
[18:16] <Obsidian1723> Konversation and irssi here
[19:02] <Obsidian1723> I want to (in a bash script) make it sudo chown username:user-group specific-file-name-here.xls whereas it changes owner to whoever the current user is. best way to do that would be how?
[19:34] <ripps> Obsidian1723: i think the current user is stored in the enviornment variable LOGNAME
[19:37] <Obsidian1723> how do I find that? $LOGNAME ?
[19:37] <Obsidian1723> and what about their group?
[19:39] <ripps> Obsidian1723: I think according to ubuntu standard settings, user and group are both the same. For me, most of the files in my home are ripps:ripps
[19:40] <ripps> Obsidian1723: what exactly are you trying to do?
[19:50] <Obsidian1723> when my install script runs, it downloads a bunch of files which are owned by root, ansd I want them changed over to the current user.
[20:01] <Obsidian1723> that worked perfectly thanks
[20:19] <Obsidian1723> ripps thanks man... you can see what I was doing in the script... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914191/install-script.sh
