Is it possible to get the name of the currently logged in user (windows/unix) and the hostname of the machine.

I assume it's just a property of some static environment class.

I've found this for the user name

com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem NTSystem = new com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem(); System.out.println(NTSystem.getName()); 

and this for the machine name:

import java.net.InetAddress; ... String computerName; ... try { computerName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(); } catch(Exception ex) { ... } 

Is the first one just for windows?

and what will the second one do if you dont have a hostname set?
