In a bash script, how can I set the contents of a variable to the result of:
mount | grep tftpboot | wc | cut -c 5-8 In case more info would help, the current script is #! /bin/bash # # count the number of mounts in /tftpboot/iso/ each minute # ^C to end while : do ans=$(( 12 )) date +"%A %H:%2M # .ISOs loop mounted= $ans" mount | grep tftpboot | wc | cut -c 5-8 sleep 60 done which puts the count of files mounted on a separate line. If I could make $ans contain the result it cane be printed by the date command in the same line. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
