Is there any way to consider backtick symbols as escape character in anaconda kickstart scripts?

Issue

• Have the following in a kickstart custom snippet that is being included in the kickstart files.
• When this snippet gets executed during the install process, the command inside the backticks do not make it through into the final file.

# Fix logrotate
# Copy syslog to securelog
/bin/cat <<SECURE> /etc/logrotate.d/securelog
/var/log/secure
{
    create 0644 root splunk
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}
SECURE

• The follow is the outcome of that kill line:

      /bin/kill -HUP  2> /dev/null || true
