[SOLVED] Scripting Question...

[Dave-Oregon]

Hello,

I am trying to get the following script working:
===cut===
#!/bin/sh
# Gets System uptime. $1 is host name
upt='</proc/uptime'

for line in $upt dummy $1
do
echo "$line"
done

===cut===

I get this output after making it exec and running it:
===cut===
strangelove:/home/dcole# chmod a+x up2mrtg
strangelove:/home/dcole# ./up2mrtg strangelove
</proc/uptime
dummy
strangelove
strangelove:/home/dcole#
===cut===
Any ideas why it is not showing uptime?

Also "more" shows the uptime etc... What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Dave
