Hi John, it does not seem to be a problem with understanding $USER as the
following does work:
sh ls my_file | mail $USER
I tried several other things but did not seem to be able to get it to work.
It looks strange. Could be a bug or a lack of support for some sh features.
To answer the other part of your question, to get an environment variable
from UNIX, use:
SYNOPSYS_DIR = get_unix_variable("SYNOPSYS")
Now use it just like another synopsys variable:
system_cache = SYNOPSYS_DIR + "/libraries/syn"
As far as finding this in the on-line doccumentation, check out the
application notes section. In particular, dc_shell Scripts for Synthesis.

A friend of mine found the answer to this one. We use the following inside
of our ".synopsys_dc.setup" files so it should work fine for you.
synopsys_setups = get_unix_variable("DSP_SYNOPSYS_SETUPS")
include synopsys_setups + "/techi.synopsys_dc.setup"
Just change the DSP to USER. (Of course, to be really smart you could then
set designer to be the USER variable).

Hello John, Maybe this is what you want:
get_unix_variable("USER")
user_name = dc_shell_status
sh ls -l netlist.v | Mail -s "'Netlist-completed'" user_name
