Hi Forum.

First of all thanks for reading.

I need some help here. I have been checking some other posts about this issue, but I still have problems...

I'm trying to conect througn ssh to several machines to kill some process and I have problems with the " ' ' ".

This is what I'm trying to do:

ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" $IP_START ps -ef | grep $USER | awk '{print "kill -9 "$2""}' | sh

I know for sure that this works:

ps -ef | grep $USER | grep | awk '{print "kill -9 "$2""}' | sh

And I know that the way to do multiple commands in ssh is:
ssh user@server 'command1; command2; command3' or
ssh user@server "command1; command2; command3"

So with this, I have tried all the possible combinations:

ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" $IP_START "ps -ef | grep $USER | awk '{print \"kill -9 \"$2\"\"}' | sh"

ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" $IP_START 'ps -ef | grep $USER | awk \'{print "kill -9 "$2""}\' | sh'

....

But this command is killing me:
awk '{print "kill -9 "$2""}'

Could any body help me?

Thanks in advance...

works for me.

Thank you very much Tony!!!

It worked!!!

It makes sence to put a scape character also to the $!!
