But that doesn't explain why
! sh -c "/sbin/ifconfig tun0 | /usr/bin/grep inet | /usr/bin/awk '{print $2}' |
mail -s 'New IP' root"
locks the script up and
! sh -c "/sbin/ifconfig tun0 | /usr/bin/mail -s 'New IP' root"
doesn't, am I right?
I have noticed, though, that if I create a shell script that contains only the
first line (ifconfig | grep | awk), it seems to ignore the awk command,
outputting the output of the grep command. If I take out the sh -c and double
quotes, though, it works....maybe completely unrelated, quite possibly something
that I'm doing wrong, but ....?
