Can you please attach updated version to ticket at SF.net or send it to mailing list as an attachment? I kind of failed to get it from e-mail itself. Despite of that new version looks alright. Please note this ``printf "BMC_IPv4=%s\nBMC_URL=%s" '' should have been, or should be, ``printf "BMC_IPv4=%s\nBMC_URL=%s\n" ''. It is missing an '\n' at the very end. It isn't a big deal if read by computer. But much nicer if read by a human later. I'm to blame. Sorry. + KERNEL_VERSION=3D$(uname -r -m) <<< this line has spaces instead of tabs(\t). I guess it is the last one in the script. Thanks and have an easy Monday, Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
