[hobbit] bb will not run from a shell script (script problem??)

OK well I found a work around,

If I break it into two in the script and pass the data to bb through
stdin this will work

MYCMD="$BB $BBDISP -"

echo "status $MACHINE.Bd@ $STATUS date local web check" | $MYCMD

This works for me - but is there a better way?

Thanks, Frank

I have a simple shell script which I want to use as a client
plugin. In the script I create the STATUS and some other messages
that I want to use and assemble them into a CMD.

But bb will not accept this from the script - but the command is
perfect - I can say that because to debug I echo the command and if
I copy and paste it works. But if have the script run the $CMD it
fails.

In the script:

MYCMD="$BB $BBDISP \"status $MACHINE.BWEB $STATUS date WEB OK\""

echo $MYCMD

$MYCMD

I run it from inside of bbcmd and I get:

sh-3.1$ ext/webCheck.sh /home/hobbit/client/bin/bb 10.1.90.21 "status
web2,sc1,boredat,net.BWEB green Wed Sep 5 14:55:08 PDT 2007 WEB OK" Hobbit version 4.2.0 Usage: /home/hobbit/client/bin/bb [--debug] [--proxy=http:// ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin sh-3.1$

And if I copy and paste the first line - it works, the server sees
it and everything is fine.
