It looks like you missed placing a single quote after the 'echo `hostname` command. That would prevent awk from interpreting its print command.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 11:07 AM, Brandon Colbert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:colbert.brandon@gmail.com">colbert.brandon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does." -- Shane McGowan<br>
