Hello, this is my first post, and.... obviusly, i have a problem, i have this script:
#!/bin/sh
. /tmp/variables
...
...
DESTINATION=`hostname`_DESTINATION
...

and the /tmp/variables has:
#!/bin/sh
aix53_DESTINATION="/temporal/`hostname`.mksysb.`date +\%d\%m\%y`"

**
The problem is that when i ran the script, the result of the variable DESTINATION is aix53_DESTINATION="/temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808, i want that the result were /temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808, somebody knows how to do that?.

Thanks!

What is your hostname? and could you please tell what exactly you are trying to set ? i mean what exactly you expect in result. ?

Yes, my hostname is aix53 and the result i want is:
/temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808

The actual result is all the variable line:
aix53_DESTINATION="/temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808"
Thx
