scripting to null

[sinck@corp.quepasa.com]

I'd vote for needing a quote in there (presuming it isn't broken
across lines as mailed). 

Try:

UPDATECMD="$APT_GET -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$SOURCESFILE update \>/dev/null"

and see if that works.  

Or mebbe try the other quote.

YMMV depending no shell, quoting, and the results of xphoon.

\_ moin, moin,

\_ I'm running commands from variables in a script, but when I tr to include
\_ redirection in the variable it doesn't work.
\_ 
\_ UPDATECMD="$APT_GET -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$SOURCESFILE update
\_ >/dev/null"
\_ UPGRADECMD="$APT_GET -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$SOURCESFILE -uu -q
\_ dist-upgrade"
\_ 
\_ $UPDATECMD && $UPGRADECMD
\_ 
\_ but
\_ 
\_ UPDATECMD="$APT_GET -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$SOURCESFILE update"
\_ UPGRADECMD="$APT_GET -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$SOURCESFILE -uu -q
\_ dist-upgrade"
\_ 
\_ $UPDATECMD >/dev/null && $UPGRADECMD
\_ 
\_ works. I presume it's suppoed to be like that, just wanted to see if
\_ anyone could tell me why :).
