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.
