I tried that and it still didn't work.  As far as I can tell, cfengine
just doesn't support pipes in ExecResult.

I could just be retarded, though.  This is what I have:

control:
   variable = ( ExecResult(/bin/domainname | /bin/sed 's/m/n/') )
   actionsequence = (
      shellcommands
   )

shellcommands:
   "/bin/echo ${variable}"

This tries to set my domainname on solaris.
