Certain bash syntax 1

[TSch]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to rewrite a ksh script to work under bash ..
Following problem:

I can't fill parameters using command outputs. Like this:

parm=$(lsvg)

Could someone help me with the specific bash syntax used to accomplish this ?

Regards,
Thomas

I've never known $( ... ) not to work in bash... is it a really, really old version or something?
