i'm making a ksh script that dumps regular backups and encrypts them using gpg, and am having trouble with the @ character that appears in the recipient's email:
ADMIN="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ... gpg -e -r $ADMIN $ROOT/$HOST/$FN i've tried escaping the @ with \ to no avail. i am aware that @ is involved in regexps in ksh scripts, but i do not see how to escape a literal @. the particular message i get when running the script is /tmp/dobackup.WQnCtMA23614/backup[153]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unexpected `@' cluesticking is appreciated. once this script is in a more thoroughly tested form, i'll post it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] cheers, jake
