I agree with you, although can be a discussion point if it is better or not
something like:
if ((user = getenv("USER)) != NULL)

I might be missing something but doesn't crontab allow
you to mention env variables in it, and it passes them
to its execv? all you'd have to do is
USER=ivan

Heyho,
I do not know how you guys think about this, but I would do that in one line:
if(!(user = getenv("USER")))

Hello, people!
I use slock for quite a strange purpose from time to time :).
Namely, I run it using cron every 55 minutes, to get away from computer and
stretch my body a little bit. But crontab file does not contain USER
environment variable by default, so I'd spent a lot of time figuring out
why
