Subject: Windows - Get current  logged user


Hello /.


I need to know how is the user who is currently logged to an specific
machine.
I'm able to log into the box using 'net/telnet' and then do whatever I
need to
get the user logged. My 1st try was to take a look at the %USERNAME%
...jeje

I've found that doing this works but is not a cleaver solution:

def get_user

     require 'win32/eventlog'
     include Win32

     # Open the security log
     log = EventLog.open('Security')

     #Clear it
     log.clear

     #Close it
     log.close

     #Open the new log
     log = EventLog.open('Security')

     user=""

     #There is just one record
     log.read {|l|
        user=l.description.scan(/Client User Name:\t(.+)\r/).flatten[0]
    }

    user

end


Any idea of how accomplish this with a more robust method /?

Thanks
