[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-770) setting FLUME_IDENT_STRING based on
$USER is not robust
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13121061#comment-13121061 ]
Jonathan Hsieh commented on FLUME-770:
--------------------------------------
testing by running
FLUME_HOME=. FLUME_LOG_DIR=. bin/flume-daemon.sh start node
Looks good to me. Thanks!

> Key: FLUME-770
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-770
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Shell
> Affects Versions: v0.9.4
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
> Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: v0.9.5

> Attachments: FLUME-770.patch.txt

> The following bit of code from flume-daemon.sh fails to produce the correct result under sudo-type of execution:
> if [ "$FLUME_IDENT_STRING" = "" ]; then
> export FLUME_IDENT_STRING="$USER"
> fi
> This is because $USER is not always set for shell. A more robust solution would be to use the output of id -nu
