Linux, Bash and event values

[levring]

hi..

Quick question.. how can i pass a device value to a shell script ?

I have no problem running script with parameters, but how can i get the value to be one of them ?

Im running the script as "Run another program or process" with Bash as the program and script (.sh) with parameters as command parameters.

Use replacement variables as described in the following link.

Thanks for the input..
It works great while sending an email, but I cant get it to work then passing the variable to a script.

Requesting program: "/bin/bash"
With parameter: "/home/pi/HomeSeer/scripts/beoplay.sh 192.168.2.98 volume $$DVR:128:"

Any idea why the variable is not being replaced ?

For those returning to this thread..

As said in previous post the replacement variables are not supported in running program or process. But found a workaround here by modifying the speak script and using the speak functionality instead.
