Oops .. I have the problem ... I need to escape awk like awk \'/fixed... Sorry

Problems configuring ifstated with dhcp interfaces /etc/ifstated.conf:4: macro '2' not defined

[C. L. Martinez]

Hi all,

 I need to configure ifstated for two public interfaces and one of them is a 
dhcp interface. To accomplish this I have configured the following macro in 
ifcstated.conf's file:

wired_gate_test = '( "ping -q -c1 -w1 -I `awk '/fixed-address/ { print $2 }' 
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em1 | sed -e 's/;//'` `awk '/routers/ { print $3 }' 
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em1 | sed -e 's/;//'` > /dev/null" every 30 )'

 But it returns the following error:

wired_linkup = "em1.link.up"
wireless_linkup = "em2.link.up"
/etc/ifstated.conf:4: syntax error
/etc/ifstated.conf:4: macro '2' not defined
/etc/ifstated.conf:34: macro 'wired_gate_test' not defined
/etc/ifstated.conf:34: syntax error
ifstated: invalid start state wired

 From command line, ping command works ... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
