trying to clip out a particular field
example
echo "/export/home/foobar" | awk -F/ '{print $1}' should return export but it returns null

trying to parse the output of df to see what file systems are mounted and to kick off a script that is particular to each file system.

Either that or put in 20 cronjobs on every machine knowing that only one will complete. Since the apps float between different machines parsing what file system is mounted will tell me what version of the script to run.

thanx,
bill

export should be $1?
