thanks Robert,
If i do what you said
for linia in `cat /etc/passwd`
do
user=echo $linea | awk -F : '{ print $1 }'
nombre=echo $linea | awk -F : '{ print $5 }'
echo "the name is $nombre"
echo "zmprov ma $user@$domain displayName $nombre">>$file
x=$[x+1]
done
then I have:
the name is echo
So it seems i have problems with quotes...
either " or ` goes somewhere....
now..on my way to reaad about escape sequences in echo.
