498.0. "mminfo symbol substitution in script problem" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Mon Mar 17 1997 19:14

    NetWorker for Digital UNIX Server V4.2B
    Digital UNIX V4.0a
    
    I'm not able to find the correct incantation to have symbol
    substitution performed within a mminfo command.  What construct should
    I be using:
    
    exec 4< /tmp/nw_sc_clients_$$.tmp
    while read -u4 client_line
            do
            echo Processing client $client_line
            #nsrclone -b $retention -S
            mminfo -r 'ssid' \
            -q 'client=${client_line}, level=full, copies=1' \
            #-t 'last month'
            done
    exec 4<&-
    
    to get 'client_line replaced within the -q quoted area?
    
    Thanks!

    Here's the answer:
    
    exec 4< /tmp/nw_sc_clients_$$.tmp
    while read -u4 client_line
            do
            echo Processing client $client_line
            #nsrclone -b $retention -S
            mminfo -r 'ssid' \
            -q "client=${client_line}, level=full, copies=1" \
            #-t 'last month'
            done
    exec 4<&-
    
    Note the double quotes around whole -q string.  Double quotes, unlike
    single quotes, allow variable and command substitution to occur (p. 467
    of 'UNIX Shells by Example).
