Process ID?

[Jack Woehr <ja...@purematrix.com>]

Is there any way to use '$' in a value in Ant?

I tried the following:

<exec executable="sh" outputproperty="some.pid">
  <arg value="-c"/>
  <arg value="who -T | tail -1 | awk '{print $8}'"/>
 </exec>

But this just comes out '8' ... the $sign gets swallowed.
I trie &#36; instead of $ with about the same results.
