awk on a remote machine using 'rsh'
Hi,

I want to do a awk operation on a file on a remote machine.
I am using rsh for this.

rsh <remote> awk '{print $2}' process.txt

output:

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk:illegal statement near line 1


I can do the awk operation by logging into the remote machine.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

It is a quoting and escaping issue. Try this:

Code:
rsh <remote> "awk '{print \$2}' process.txt"

Unless the awk script is very simple, I suggest to create a shell script, rcp the script on the remote host and then execute the remote script with rsh.
