Hi,

did somebody knows how to execute a bash command with jam and put the
output in a jam variable?


Jam can't do that (though I'm not sure if there were changes made in
Jam for Haiku to do this.) In general though there isn't much use for
this, since by the time the actions are being run (which is probably
where you would do this), all the rules have already been run.

For a thread about this on the Jam mailing list, check here:

What is it you want to do? There may be another way to do it.
