in thread schedg software

AFAIK, In case if you are using *nix system, check with the command 'id <username>', if it gives some user id then your program also should work, otherwise check whether such user entry exist in /etc/passwd file, if not you may be using LDAP authentication.

    i am using ubuntu. itried using the 'id' command and it give me some user id.i use "id -a".

    however when i try with the id given it stil have the same problem.

    the error is :Argument "1000" isn't numeric in getpwuid at ./schedg_client.pl line 89, <HI> line 14. Cannot get gid for 1000 at ./schedg_client.pl line 93, <HI> line 14.

    next i try to go into /etc/passwd folder to see if there is any id. then i use the id in the passwd file which correspond to the schedg progam, it stil give me the same error with the new id number.

      Your markup is confusing, but I assume that your error message actually looks like:

      Argument "[1000]" isn't numeric in getpwuid at ./schedg_client.pl line
+ 89

      You will notice an extra set of square brackets for your group. Most likely you put them there, but getpwuid does not know about square brackets. Don't put them there, or remove them.

        i remove the square bracket but it still contain the error
