[17:09] <njbair> can I use shell commands when setting the value of an env variable?
[17:23] <SpamapS> njbair: commands like  env X=`foo` ?
[17:23] <njbair> yeah that didn't work for me
[17:23] <SpamapS> njbair: thats because that is just for setting defaults. :)
[17:23] <SpamapS> njbair: just set it in a script..end script section
[17:23] <njbair> do I use the env keyword inside the script section?
[17:28] <ion> It’s sh code. You might want “export”.
[17:32] <njbair> oh I see
[17:33] <njbair> i must be doing something wrong. when I start my test script it appears to work fine, I get a pid from initctl. but my echo statement is ignored and I dont see any output
[17:56] <SpamapS> njbair: perhaps pastebin your job file?
[17:56] <SpamapS> njbair: (hint, apt-get install 'pastebinit' and do 'pastebinit < /etc/init/foo.conf')
[17:57] <njbair> SpamapS, got it. I was using the wrong command syntax elsewhere.
