Hi All,
I log in as root user to our unix server and have a script which I want to protect. I have used the following code segment

if [ `whoami` != 'oracle' ]
then
echo "Error: You must be user oracle to execute."
exit
fi

however, there is an issue in that my telnet session closes after the exit command. what argument do I need to stop the script from running but not close down my telnet session.

cheers

Alan

I hope this should work for you:

if [ `whoami` != 'oracle' ]
then
echo "Error: You must be user oracle to execute."
else
"Put Everything here"
fi
