Hi,
Sorry I had to leave the desk for a bit.
Ya it is supposed to be Bash. Which I am sure is the issue but a lot of
my developers are bash folks not python.
I posted the section that seems to be giving python / cheetah fits.
When I escape the ${var} it says end line expected. When cheetah
naturally complains because it does like the var defn.
hmmmm.
thoughts?
Thanks,
Aaron
