[PLUG] shell scripting

[Robert Citek]

Try running this variation of the script:

LIST = 'ypcat hosts|| sort | awk '{print $2}''
for Devices in $LIST ; do
  echo $Devices
done > output.txt

Post the contents of output.txt

I suspect the error is in using single quotes instead of backtics and
possibly using an OR (||) instead of a pipe.  If you are using bash, I
would recommend using $() instead of backtics.

Regards,
