running command remotely to populate local variable
If I run this Code:
[root@central-server] # ssh remote-server 'du -sk /usr/platform/`uname -i`/' 174 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V245 I get my output just fine, However, if i try to do the same but populate a local variable within my script called for example 'result' Code:
#!/bin/ksh result=`ssh remote-server 'du -sk /usr/platform/`uname -i`/'` echo $result I get Code:
[root@central-server] # ./test.sh ./test.sh[13]: /: cannot execute ./test.sh[13]: -i: not found It looks like the `uname -i` is not getting run remotely, does anybody know how I can get this to be recognised by the remote box ? Any help would be great Cheers |

Use proper korn shell command substitution in the script. Code:
# cat script
#!/usr/bin/ksh
result=$(ssh remote-client 'du -sk /usr/platform/`uname -i`')
echo $result
# ./script
448 /usr/platform/FJSV,GPUZC-M

It probably works in bash and newer shells as well.
