[jira] [Updated] (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:all-tabpanel ]

Roman Shaposhnik updated FLUME-770:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
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

{noformat}
if [ "$FLUME_IDENT_STRING" = "" ]; then
  export FLUME_IDENT_STRING="$USER"
fi
{noformat}

This is because $USER is not always set for shell. A more robust solution would be to use the output of id -nu
