I am Trying to show the active Users password expiry on logon. I created a bash script and placed it in /etc/profiles.d/ which contains:

#!/bin/bash
me="$(whoami)"
echo "$me"
chage -l $me

also tried it with

chage -l tobi

But if start the script over console for testing or by startup, it gives me the output: tobi (my username on the VM) ' does not exist in /etc/passwd

But when i run the command

chage -l $(whoami)

on the console, it works and shows me the password expiry for my user.

Anyone have some suggestions ?

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
