Likewise: "$(gettext "done")"
But thanks for taking this on; we're getting closer to a nice solution.
I followed: http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Preparing-Shell-Scripts.htm... but totally agree with your comments.
The gettext manual assumes that you are trying to be portable to all sorts of /bin/sh, including Solaris's horribly-dated version that lacks lots of POSIX features, hence it uses `` instead of $(). But for a Linux init script, we can safely assume a decent POSIX shell. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
