Re: Problems with ExecResult & ReturnsZero in 2.1.18

[Kelly Craig]

But, if you type it like this, you will also incure the wrath of CFENGINE!
:)

VarPart = ( ReturnsZero("/bin/sh -c \"df -l | grep \'^/dev\' | awk
\'{print $NF}\' | grep -q \'^/var$\'\"") )

You need to replace the quites like so.

VarPart = ( ReturnsZero('/bin/sh -c \'df -l | grep \'^/dev\' | awk
\'{print $NF}\' | grep -q \'^/var$\'\'') )
