[ILUG] Identifying telnet connections?

[Paul Jakma]

ok.. i misunderstood, sorry.

maybe something along the lines of:

export DISPLAY=`last -a -n 1 $USER | awk '/mydomain.ie/ { print $10 }'`

would do the trick.

it works for me, the reason for using the domain name is cause i can't see
how to get the username into the awk pattern, eg:

awk '/$USER/ { print $10}' doesn't work cause the awk command string isn't
parsed by bash.

and awk '/ENVIRON["USER"] {print $10 }' doesn't do it either.

any awk/perl hackers out there?

hth,

paul.
