conditional Variable assignment and shell call1997-09-16 05:07:50Hi, What is the best way to init variable conditionally, I just noticed that following code will always call shell.

How do I do that? # If you already have saved the subject, please preset this variable # to prevent extra shell call! # JA_SRV_SUBJECT={JA_SRV_SUBJECT:-`formail -xSubject:`} :0 * condition follows....
