Hi all,

I would like to know how to use (system) variables in the control file
- I need to use the asset tag of the systems as the system hostname,
and it is not immediatly obvious from the docs and examples how to do
this. I have a one-line shell script that uses hwinfo to get the asset
tag, but I am not sure how to get this into the control file. I am
using suse9.1 on the clients and sles9 on the server. I tried
searching on google, and the archives, but no luck. Any help would be
appreciated.

Cheers,

Martijn
