(Problem) Script with Parameters file
Hello, this is my first post, and.... obviusly, i have a problem, i have this script:
#!/bin/sh
. /tmp/variables
...
...
DESTINATION=`hostname`_DESTINATION
...

and the /tmp/variables has:
#!/bin/sh
aix53_DESTINATION="/temporal/`hostname`.mksysb.`date +\%d\%m\%y`"

**
The problem is that when i ran the script, the result of the variable DESTINATION is aix53_DESTINATION="/temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808, i want that the result were /temporal/aix53.mksysb.040808, somebody knows how to do that?.

Thanks!
