thanks, but in my case, the system treats the ~ as remote home dir, not the local one, since the command gets executed, but the remote system is complaining about the argument part.

line 1: syntax error at ''

Before:
Code:
/Users/scott $ ssh oracle@vm_oracle_10g ~/scripts/myScript opt1 opt2 opt3  
oracle@oracle's password: 
ksh: line 1: /Users/scott/scripts/myScript: not found

After:
Code:
/Users/scott $ ssh oracle@vm_oracle_10g \~/scripts/myScript opt1 opt2 opt3
oracle@vm_oracle_10g's password: 
Hello from myscript @ oracle@vm_oracle_10g
Options passwd were:  opt1 opt2 opt3
/Users/scott $

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
