It makes no difference
Code:
# su - bb -c echo $BBHOME
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.9       Generic May 2002

Operating System Version 5.9.01

If I use single quotes I have the same problem as when I used grep above
Code:
# bbhome=`su - bb -c 'echo $BBHOME'`
# echo $bbhome
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic May 2002 Operating System Version 5.9.01 /opt/bb/bbhome

NAME
ifplugd.conf - ifplugd configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf DESCRIPTION
ifplugd.conf is the configuration file for ifplugd. It is a shell script that is sourced by the init script starting the daemon. It shall be used to set environment variables which are interpreted by the init script: OPTIONS
INTERFACES Specifies the ethernet interfaces to monitor. It has to contain a space seperated list of network interfaces names. Most users will probably use "eth0" here, however you may add additional interfaces for monitoring more than one device. A special value is sup- ported as well: "auto" will enable a more or less working auto detection of available network devices. This won't make you happy when using network module auto loading, since it cannot detect currently unloaded network devices. ARGS Additional command line arguments for ifplugd invocation. See ifplugd(8) for further information. ARGS_iface If specified for an interface this variable takes precedence over ARGS. This may be useful if more than one network device is present. SEE ALSO
