The other thing i'd really like to be able to do is to execute something to populate an environment variable
In bash you can do stuff like: export FOO_PID=`cat foo.pid` Anyone have any idea how to do that in fish? I haven't noticed it mentioned in the documentation. If you execute: set -x FOO `cat foo.pid` ... you just get the literal string `cat foo.pid` Mark.
