set variables on remote system

Hi,

I try to run a script on remote systems with ssh

it should execute a command, read values from stdout, use it as input for a loop
and works with this variable on remote system

but the variable isn't working, I guess because export, echo , or the loop itself are shell builtins and not a binary/script on the remote system

how can I get something like this to work:

ssh hostname "a=5 ; echo $a"

the variable should be set in a new process environment on the remote system, not on local system

or

ssh hostname "for i in $(command1); do command2 $i; done"

thanks in advance

funksen

uuxqt(1M)						  System Administration Commands						 uuxqt(1M)

NAME
uuxqt - execute remote command requests SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt [-s system] [-x debug-level] DESCRIPTION
uuxqt is the program that executes remote job requests from remote systems generated by the use of the uux command. (mail uses uux for remote mail requests). uuxqt searches the spool directories looking for execution requests. For each request, uuxqt checks to see if all the required data files are available, accessible, and the requested commands are permitted for the requesting system. The Permissions file is used to validate file accessibility and command execution permission. There are two environment variables that are set before the uuxqt command is executed: o UU_MACHINE is the machine that sent the job (the previous one). o UU_USER is the user that sent the job. These can be used in writing commands that remote systems can execute to provide information, auditing, or restrictions. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -s system Specifies the remote system name. -x debug-level debug-level is a number from 0 to 9. Higher numbers give more detailed debugging information. FILES
/etc/uucp/Limits /etc/uucp/Permissions /var/spool/locks/* /var/spool/uucp/* ATTRIBUTES
