Hi, /bin/sh is linked to bash on my system. But as I said, this is not the
problem: the bug manifests itself before, and cf-engine refuses to launch
the shell at all. So it's not a shell problem.

Hi,<br>
<br>
What system are you running this on? CFEngine uses &quot;/bin/sh&quot; to e=
xecute shell commands, which may or may not be linked to bash. IIRC the &qu=
ot;$()&quot; doesn&#39;t exist in plain &#39;sh&#39;.<br>
