hi,

i have a shell script as follows, which takes two arguments.

###################################
FILE=$1
FOLDER=$2
APPUSER=jboss

#do something...

mypython.py 'sh myscript.sh /home/abcd/$FOLDER/$FILE'

###################################


what i want is, mypython.py (see the line above) should get the remaining portion as a single argument. As i am giving 'sh myscript.sh /home/abcd/$FOLDER/$FILE' within singlequotes, the $FOLDER and $FILE is not taking the original value.
If i am removing the single quote, then, 'sh' is taken as first argument, 'myscript.sh' is taken as second argument, and so on...

Hi,

In general single quotes stops bash from expanding variables. Have you tried double quotes? Those allow variable expanding.

Hope this helps.
