    Description

      In addition to the existing Hudson provided environment vars, it would be very nice to have the username
      of the logged-in user exposed when running batch tasks. The use-case is to be able to send an email
      from the task that contains the username of the user that kicked it off.

      I'd suggest HUDSON_USER as the name of the var.

            I would prefer to see two environment variables, which would expose information
            similar to what a login shell exposes. The USER variable would contain the name
            of the effective user id, and HOME would have the home directory of that user.

            I use hudson to automate deployments of ruby applications that use Capistrano.
            Some of these other command line tools look in $HOME for certain files. Because
            $HOME is not set, I have to set it manually in the hudson with something like:

            HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6 cap -v -v deploy

            This workaround is functional, but if the container is ever run as a different
            user id, it would break.
