Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to get BASH to interpret pipes in a string correctly? Post 302181316 by neked on Wednesday 2nd of April 2008 03:12:05 PM

Thanks Jim!

I put the "eval" operator in my fork_process function like this:

Code:
function fork_process {
    CMD=$1
    PIDFILE=$2
    if check_process $PIDFILE; then
        eval "$CMD &"
        echo $! > $PIDFILE
        echo "new pid in $PIDFILE on `date`" >> $TAILER_LOG
    fi;
}

And that solved the problem.
