That was it. As soon as I unchecked that it worked fine.
Thank you!

How about the "Use user's environment?" box .. do you have that checked?

If you create a trivial command that just runs :
echo $REMOTE_USER
does that work? Also, do you have the "Clear environment variables?" option set for \
the command?

You should be able to use $REMOTE_USER in the command that is being executed in \

/home/user/scripts/id-test.sh $REMOTE_USER
Then, in your script, you would have USER=$1 (or whatever the syntax is in bash to \

similarly in Webmin.

Subject: [webmin-l] Problems with passing $REMOTE_USER
I'm trying to execute a bash script through webmin and have the current webmin users \
login name be passed to the script. I've googled a bit and found that $REMOTE_USER is \
the environmental variable that should pass that information to the script but it's \
not working. Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
USER=$REMOTE_USER
echo ""
echo "The user executing this script is $USER"
echo ""
exit 0;
The result when I execute the script is:
Output from ssh -l user linuxserver /home/user/scripts/id-test.sh ..
Authentication successful.
The user executing this script is
I feel pretty stupid that I can't make this work. I've also tried running the script \
like this: ssh -l user linuxserver /home/user/scripts/id-test.sh $REMOTE_USER
And having the script read in $1 but it's still not passing.
Any assistance would be appreciated … thanks!
