I'm trying to use the following in a bash shell script: echo This machine's name and IP address cat /etc/hosts | grep $HOSTNAME
but the echo'd line doesn't print the apostrophe. I've tried several variations, and from what I've read in man bash and on the web, it looks like \' oughtta do the job. Any input? Thanks!
