adding a host entry on another machine
I have written this small script to add an entry to a remote /etc/hosts file which needs to be run from our central admin box and is passed one parameter $1 <hostname>

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Which host entry would you like to add to $1"
read host_to_add
echo "what is the IP address?"
read ip

echo "Adding $host_to_add $ip to $1"
ssh $1 'echo $host_to_add $ip >> /etc/hosts'

but obviously this doesnt work because the variables arent passed over when issuing the ssh statement at the end there, so what i actually get in the target machines host file is a blank line at the end

Does anybody have an idea on how I can get around this???

Cheers

mono-server4-admin

MONO-SERVER4-ADMIN(8)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     MONO-SERVER4-ADMIN(8)

NAME

       mono-server4-admin - mono-server4 hosts file creator, hosts file is part of the debianized mod_mono package

SYNOPSIS

       mono-server4-admin [action] [args]

   OPTIONS
	 Actions:

	   add	      Use 'add' if you want to create an application and want mono-server4 scripts to manage it
	   del	      If you want to remove an application

	 Args:

	   --path     The path where you have your aspx files, MUST EXISTS!, required only with add action
	   --app      The name of your application
	   --libs     If you have dlls outside your path, you must use this!
	   --port     Needed if you are running multiple virtual hosts in different ports in Apache
	   --vhost    If you want to add asp.net support to a virtualhost you must use this. Example: foobar.com

DESCRIPTION

	mono-server4-admin is a perl tool to adminstrate your ASP.NET webapps that will be executed with
	mod_mono.

	When you try to add an application, mono-server4-admin	will verify that your path exists, if it is,
	it will add a directory inside /etc/xsp/conf.d with the name of your app, and also as a file with the
	filename format: 10_appname. This file will have the information (path, app).

	So, when mono-xsp-update is executed it will read those dirs and create a debian.webapp in
	/etc/xsp that the xsp daemon will read, also with a mono-server4-hosts that will have your
	directory settings with apache directives. Apache will read mono-server4-hosts.conf!
