10.5: Repair a user/group Finder crashing issue
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Wed, Jan 23 2008 at 7:16PM PST

Attempts to compile the original post's script, using Script Editor, results in this when it hits the 'whoami' in one of the first lines:

if [ 'whoami' == "root" ]; then

Syntax error
"Expected expression, etc. but found unknown token"

Any solutions?
