Thanks for that. It's working now, but only to a point.
Quote:
cat /usr/share/assp/assp.cfg | grep ^PenaltyError:= | cut -d '@' -f1 | cut -d ' ' -f8
works, but my actual code:
Quote:
GetValue='eval "cat /usr/share/assp/assp.cfg | grep ^PenaltyError:= | cut -d '@' -f1 | cut -d ' ' -f8"'
StringValue=`eval $GetValue`
echo 'Current Setting:' $StringValue
does not. This is what is returning:
-f8": command not found
Something about my eval is breaking it, but I'm afraid I only know enough to be dangerous.
Can anyone shed any light on what might be happening?

Thanks,
Alex

NAME
polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool SYNOPSIS
dns-cfg [--option ...] DESCRIPTION
Given a zone name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers. Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent to the standard output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri- ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information. OPTIONS
--help list of options --version package version info --config <filename> PGL configuration --cfg_dirs <dirs> directories for PGL #includes --zone <str> zone name --addresses <str> IP addresses --names <str> domain names COPYRIGHT
