Another disappointing thing I've just discovered is that the INSTALL_PKG_SESSION_ID doesn't seem to get set in my Leopard environment. This causes my individual packages to fail because they are using that variable to determine which product was installed. Can anyone recommend if any of the variables which DO get set are fair game for use in determining which package is being installed? I could parse out the name of the path or receipt, but what if someone renames the name of the package?

Yeah, that's what I get for opening my mouth/keyboard without testing
first. When sudo is invoked, it sets several variables as well,
including $SUDO_USER which should contain the username of the user who
invoked it. You may have to do an else if in your bash to handle
that.

XO: I just tried this out, and it only works in the InstallationCheck script. I think it's pretty interesting, so I made all my scripts print out their environment. Only the InstallationCheck script gets the SUDO_USER variable, have a look! Do you think this is a bug? I wrote some kind of weird stuff to guess the name of the user from the HOME path, but I haven't decided yet if that's a bad idea.
