chown remotely via ssh / invalid group
Hi,

i have a problem with a shell script. I need to change the owner and group of a file on a remote machine.

I tried to use ssh but have some problems.

The code:
Code:
group=`ssh -t -t $1 -p 3344 "stat -c %G $cpath/FILE"`

echo " $2:$group "
echo $1
echo $cpath

ssh $1 -p 3344 "chown $2:$group $cpath/FILE

The Output if started with ./script.sh 192.168.0.99 scott
Code:
 scott:users
192.168.0.99
/backup/scott/data

chown: âscott:users\râ: ungültige Gruppe

Note: "ungültige Gruppe" = invalid group (there is a problem with special character " ü ")

Output if startet with sh -x script.sh 192.168.0.99 scott
Code:
++ ssh -t -t 192.168.0.99 -p 3344 'stat -c %G /backup/scott/data/FILE'
Connection to 192.168.0.99 closed.
+ group=$'users\r'

 'echo ' scott:users
 scott:users
+ echo 192.168.0.99
192.168.0.99
+ echo /backup/scott/data
/backup/scott/data

++ ssh 192.168.0.99 -p 3344 'chown scott /backup/scott/data/FILE'
 /backup/scott/data/FILE'wn scott:users
chown: âscott:users\râ: ungültige Gruppe

If i do " chown scott:users /backup/scott/data/FILE " there is no problem.

I think the problem is in the variable $group cuz it is containing this " \r " any hint where this comes from or how to get rid of it ?

Thank you
Greetings Linién

NAME

       Lire::Firewall::IpfilterDlfConverter - convert ipf (ipmon) logs to firewall DLF

DESCRIPTION

       Lire::Firewall::IpfilterDlfConverter converts Ipfilter logs into firewall DLF format.  Input for this converter is the standard ipf syslog
       log file as produced by ipmon. IP Filter is shipped with FreeBSD, OpenBSD (up to 2.9) and some other OS's.

EXAMPLE

       A ipfilter logfile which looks like
