[hobbit] bb will not run from a shell script (script problem??)

[Frank Flynn]

OK well I found a work around,

If I break it into two in the script and pass the data to bb through  
stdin this will work
----
MYCMD="$BB $BBDISP -"

echo "status $MACHINE.Bd@ $STATUS `date` local web check" | $MYCMD
----

This works for me - but is there a better way?

Thanks,
Frank
