Hi, The NAME environment variable is very important to my script, but in one Debian derivative distro (<cough>,<cough>, Ubuntu), I found such variable does not exist: $ env | grep ^NAME || echo no found no found This is the first time that I found the NAME variable missing from the environment. How common is this? Thanks
