Get Local Console User info

[Charles E. Heizer1]

So I have an daemon that is running as root, and I want to open a ³Reboot²
dialog using the current logged in user info. The reboot dialog is using the
AppleEvent kAERestart to reboot the machine. The problem I found is that if
I launch the Reboot app as root the AppleEvent does not execute properly
because of the environment.

I hope this makes sense,

Thanks,
- Charles
