Re: Passing Environment Variables In A Config File

[Tom Purl]

Thanks a *ton* Michael.  I swear that I checked the man page numerous
times before posting this question, but I just missed that option.

Also, sorry for asking something that was solved a few days ago.  I

a long story, but I should've done a quick search of the list anyways.

Thanks again!
