Slightly off topic but hey, not 100% :)

May I suggest the following:

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --show-op-down $1@$2 | grep -v ^# > $3.cfg

For some shells it may prove necessary to use quoting characters
to remove any special meaning from, for instance, the # character.

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --show-op-down $1@$2 | grep -v '^#' > $3.cfg

This will work for most shells.  No need to use a temporary file.
However, it removes all kind of possibly useful information.
I think the hack I posted earlier is more appropriate.

cheers,
