Hi All,

We can set a command in a variable, for example:
# cmd=mount
Or
# cmd="ps -ef | grep root"
And
Run it:
# $cmd

But don’t know why the following variable setting has error when run:
# cmd="mount | grep /app"
# $cmd
usage: mount [-l][-v|-p]
        mount [-F FStype][-eQ] -a
        mount [-F FStype][-eQrV][-o specific_options]
                { special | directory }
        mount [-F FStype][-eQrV][-o specific_options]
                special directory

# cmd="for x in 1 2 3; do echo $x; done"
# $cmd
sh: for: not found.

Can anybody help?

Regards,
Edi
