This is a matter of which type of quotes you use. Some examples from my promt (I don't have pump installed in this machine) Casandra:/# IPADDR="ifconfig ippp0 | grep inet" Casandra:/# echo $IPADDR ifconfig ippp0 | grep inet Casandra:/# IPADDR=`ifconfig ippp0 | grep inet` Casandra:/# echo $IPADDR inet addr:62.226.250.222 P-t-P:193.158.134.185 Mask:255.0.0.0 See "man bash" section "Command Substitution". Hope that helps, Bernd
