Public bug reported:
Running dupload from a background service (Jenkins in my case) seems to impact
the functioning of getlogin resulting in dupload halting with the following
error
dupload fatal error: Who am I? (can't get user identity)
at /usr/bin/dupload line 87
The fix to this really straight forward. Line 28 or so amend to:
my $user = getlogin() || getpwuid($<) || $ENV{LOGNAME} || $ENV{USER};
Reference to this being the recommended practice includes:
