No, but that also wasn't the question here.
For the ultimate check, there is little you can do other than try

Here is the piece of code I have used:
ROOT_UID=0 # Only users with $UID 0 have root privileges.
E_NOTROOT=67 # Non-root exit error.
if [ "$UID" -ne "$ROOT_UID" ]; then
echo "Must be root to run this script."
exit $E_NOTROOT
fi

Listmates,
In a script, I need to test that the user is either root or has su'ed
to root before continuing. The USER in the environment remains the
original user and there is nothing set related to 'su'. Any thoughts?
