Aix .ksh for loop script.
Hi,

I'm trying to write a for loop to run through a list of servers and for each server copy a file to a backup file. But I can't seem to get it to run through my server list. It work for individual servers, please see below.

Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
SSH_USERID=khcuser
webservers="server1 server2"
 
for ws in ${webservers}
do
ssh ${SSH_USERID}@${webservers} "cp -p ${target_dir}${target_file} ${target_dir}${target_file}.pre.${release}"
done

When i run the script i get the below error
ksh: server2: not found.
ksh: server2: not found.

Any help would be much appreicated. or a point in the right direction.

Thanks,

Matt.

replace:
Code:
ssh ${SSH_USERID}@${webservers} "cp -p ${target_dir}${target_file} ${target_dir}${target_file}.pre.${release}"

with this:
Code:
ssh ${SSH_USERID}@${ws} "cp -p ${target_dir}${target_file} ${target_dir}${target_file}.pre.${release}"
