Github user jfrazee commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1865 @alopresto I was expecting to see System.getProperty("user.name") used instead of the exec. But I'm a little naive about what the drawback could be; maybe because you could override it and then user.name isn't actually the user.
