- Subject: Backtick does not work
>From the bash shell the ` (backtick or command execution) work. But when
I spawn a process and execute a shell script which contains the back
ticks, the process just chokes.
For example, a simple shell script like
#!/bin/sh
..
..
myenv=`/bin/env | grep CYGWIN`
..
..
I am able to execute this script properly from the bash shell (as any
user on the system). I am not getting any error at all from the
execution of the script. It just quits. I checked the error code too. It
is 0.
But this same script when executed via a spawned process does not work.
Any help?
