the variables have to be quoted as a whole such as:
I didn't have the double quotes before the back tick of the variable definition.
Thanks for the responses.

Except instead of a file input, have a variable redirection input? (2 Replies)

diskowner - retrieve the owner of a storage device
SYNOPSIS
path
DESCRIPTION
The command is used to retrieve the subsystem, if any, which is using the specified path. The command is intended to help prevent users
from overwriting storage that is already in use. The command will print out the owner of the path, or if no owner was found. A storage
device is considered owned by a subsystem if it has been formatted by that subsystem. For example, if a disk contains a VxFS filesystem,
but is not mounted or in use, it is still considered owned by the VxFS subsystem.
If the path specified is invalid or inaccessible, an error message will be printed.
Options and Arguments
The command recognizes the following options and arguments:
path The path name to the storage device. The path may be a symbolic link, as long as it points to a storage device, such as a file,
disk, or logical volume.
List all the owners of the specified path, seperated by commas
Produce a compact output that is easily parsed by other scripts and
programs. When used with option, displays all the owners seperated by dots This format is described in the section below.
