Damn good question. This starts to look like a "solaris sh" versus
"bash" issue:
(su) blipvert-/usr/local/src/sqwebmail-0.99 # /bin/sh
# vpopmail_home="`echo ~vpopmail`"
# echo ${vpopmail_home}
~vpopmail
(su) blipvert-/usr/local/src/sqwebmail-0.99/sqwebmail 892 # bash
bash-2.03# vpopmail_home="`echo ~vpopmail`"
bash-2.03# echo ${vpopmail_home}
/home/vpopmail
Perhaps this counts on xpg4-ish behavior in "sh"?
(su) blipvert-/usr/local/src/sqwebmail-0.99/sqwebmail 894 #
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
# vpopmail_home="`echo ~vpopmail`"
# echo ${vpopmail_home}
/home/vpopmail
Something stupid about shell globbing inside backticks and
doublequotes, no doubt...
