| I need to determine if the current user is 'root'. Perhaps I could use something as simple as ...
tell application "System Events" name of current user --> "root" end tell
But ... Can there be a root user with a name other than "root" ?
If so, then perhaps I should use this handler ...
on rootUser() tell application "System Events" to home directory of current user as alias tell application "Finder" to container of the result as alias as text return (the result ends with ":private:var:") end rootUser ---------------
Anyone know the answer to this ?
