Please change the first line of your shell script to '!#/bin/bash' instead of '!#/bin/sh'. /bin/sh is a link and can point to any shell which might not support the $(xxxx) command syntax. That's why vim shows this as an error. My scripts already say #!/bin/bash at the top. Oh ;-( Well, it works with my version here which is the one from Rawhide. Please try the one from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ |
