I'll second this one, and add, you should quote variable names in order
to avoid spaces in the variables screwing things up. So: "$USERNAME",
not $USERNAME. What happens if the user name is Fred Flintstone?
Of course we don't see how, if at all, you've qualified your inputs so
this suggestion may be moot.
