using quotes an after the example in the manual:

echo "ban req.http.host ~ myserver.com" | varnishadm -S /etc/varnish/secret
200


Before I was getting this error when not using commands for the echo
command (as showed in the example in the manual):

106
expected conditional (~, !~, == or !=) got "/root"

apparently this error is dued to the echo command and the use of
conditionals as ~

Thanks!
