Code:
Out=/dfezz1/output.txt
Node="'LPAR Info:'"
Gr3p0=" |grep"
Printc=" prtconf"
Output1=" | tee -a $Out"
Cat1="cat /dfezz1/tmp.txt"

cmd="$Cat1 $Gr3p0 $Node $Output1"
eval VAR=\$\($cmd\)

I have re-written the script.

here is what I ended up going with and it works;

I ran a prtconf statement and wrote it out to /dfezz/tmp.txt then I cat and grep for what I need, the other way I was doing it was running that cmd several times.

Code:
   
NodeName=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'LPAR Info:'"`
SerialNum=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'Machine Serial Number:'"`
FWare=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'Firmware Version:'"`
Model=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'System Model:'"`
Proc=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'Processor Type:'"`
ChipSpeed=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'Processor Clock Speed:'"`
Memory=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp.txt |grep 'Memory Size:'| grep -v 'Good Memory Size:'"`
OSver=`eval "cat /dfezz/tmp2.txt"`
echo $OSver
echo "$NodeName $Space $SerialNum $Space $FWare $Space $Model $Space $Proc $Space $ChipSpeed $Space $Memory $Space OS Level: $OSver" 1>>$Out 0>&1
