[SOLVED] Shell script command problem

sleftar · 10-24-2015, 09:14 AM

Hello everyone.. Just trying to write a shell script to send automated email of my gaming server log files every so often but i got stuck here

Code:

a=`ls ~/management/logs/DoNotStarveTogether | grep -c "chat_log"`

this does not assign the integer value to variable a.

but if i write it as

Code:

ls ~/management/logs/DoNotStarveTogether | grep -c "chat_log"

it prints out the value. Any help would be appreciated.
