[CODE]
#!/bin/bash

for i in $( cat "ipaddresses.txt" ); do # list of ip addresses

There is no need for cat (and it will cause the script to fail if any lines in the file contain spaces).
Code:
while read i
do
  : do whatever....
done < ipaddresses.txt

Quote:
echo "$i" >> host_details.txt;
ssh $i 'hostname ; dmidecode | grep "Serial Number" | head -1 ;
free -m | grep Mem | awk '\''{ print $1,$2 }'\'' ;
uname -r ; ' >> host_details.txt


Current output looks like.


[root@server user]# cat test23.txt
server.domain.com
-WHITE SPACE--Serial Number: F3FF071
Mem: 2007
2.4.21-27.ELsmp

What do you want it to look like?

Generally, formatting is done with printf:

Code:
## Shell code:
{
  printf "%s," "something"  "something else"   "something new" "something old"  
  echo
} > host_details.txt
