FVWM: Question : Command evaluation when setting environment variables possible ?

Hello fvwm developers,

I need to set the hostname of my machine dynamically within the .fvwm2rc file.

Unfortunately the command evaluation within back ticks

        SetEnv HOSTNAME `/bin/hostname`

does not work.

Is there another possibility to do it within .fvwm2rc (or a syntax error within the line shown above) ?

Unfortunately I did not find anything appropriate in the manual.

Thank you for your assistance

        Frank
