the script portion mostly worked, exept that i got the line
/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")
in my /etc/sysconfig/network file.
I just realized that you were also telling me that the single quotes are
tick marks (backticks?) and not single quotes... thanks you were right on.

so now I understand `that to do this $(i have to do this first `and this
