Hi,
On my way to elapsed time in a bash script, I created the do_chrono
command. It pumps the elapsed time to stdout.
So if I do:
a=do_chrono
and then:
$a
I get: 0:3:19.
Problem: I can't use that $a anywhere, e.g. if I say:
echo $a
I would expect to see 0:3:19 again, but I don't, it says
do_chrono
How do I use that $a in command parameters, like logger?
how about
b=`$a`
echo $b
$a
