Hi guys,
I'm putting together a simple login script for bash where I call a
zenity box that has an IT Policy for our company.
If the user accepts the policy I want this acceptance to be echoed,
along with the host name of the machine they are on and the time, into
a text file on a mounted network share. The script I have so far is:
#!/bin/sh
ctime=/bin/date
compname=hostname
if zenity --question --title "Cambridge Newspapers IT Policy" --text
"By logging intothis workstation you accept that you are bound to the
IT Policy. \n\nIf you do not accept this policy please selcet Cancel
to logoff, otherwise press OK to continue."
then
echo $USER "accepted User IT Policy @" $ctime "from" $compname
else
echo "Logoff"
# remove the echo and speach marks
echo 'killall gnome-session'
fi
But the date is not echoed, only the string 'date' and 'hostname' does
the same. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
-Chris

Nevermind!
I changed
ctime=/bin/date
compname=hostname
to:
ctime="$(date)"
compname="$(hostname)"
And it works now,
Cheers,
