Attention, it is absolutely not the same, whether in backquotes or unquoted. Backquotes mean that the shell tries to execute the quoted contents as a command and substitute the standard output of that command as the result. Please compare and see the difference: mri.sge:~>nproc 2 mri.sge:~>CPUS=nproc mri.sge:~>echo $CPUS nproc mri.sge:~>CPUS=`nproc` mri.sge:~>echo $CPUS 2 (there are 2 cores on the test computer, mri.sge:~> being the shell prompt) _______________________________________________________________________________ Georgy Salnikov NMR Group Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry Lavrentjeva, 9, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia Phone +7-383-3307864 Email s...@nmr.nioch.nsc.ru _______________________________________________________________________________ -- Cin mailing list Cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
