Hi all !



The following two lines of code work on the command line but not if executed 

from a shell script.



vzell:/usr/bin> myls=`ls -lt`

vzell:/usr/bin> echo $myls

total 156

-rw-r--r--   1 vzell    admin        1763 Nov 15 19:08 whatis

-rw-r--r--   1 vzell    admin        1695 Nov 15 19:06 apropos

-rwxr--r--   1 vzell    admin       38923 Oct 11 18:19 txt2html*





#!/bin/sh

myls=`ls -lt`

echo $myls



In this case I get an empty line.



Any hints ?





Ciao
