echo "$SESSIONS"|while read ID;do
ASSETID=$(echo "$ERRORS"|grep -i "$ID"|grep FX_Media_Session_Playlist::init_playlist|grep -i asset_id=|awk '{print $11}')
BLADE=$(echo "$ERRORS"|grep -i "$ID"|grep FX_Media_Session_Playlist::init_playlist|grep -i asset_id=|awk '{print $1}'|tr -d ":")
#psh $BLADE "grep "$ASSETID" /opt/VideoServer/logs/streamer_log.txt|head -1|awk '{print $8}'"
echo "$ASSETID is on $BLADE"
done

First, format your code so that it is more easily readable:

Code:

echo "$SESSIONS" |
 while read ID;do
   ASSETID=$(
     echo "$ERRORS" |
     grep -i "$ID"  |
     grep FX_Media_Session_Playlist::init_playlist |
     grep -i asset_id= |
     awk '{print $11}'
     )

   BLADE=$(
     echo "$ERRORS" |
     grep -i "$ID" |
     grep FX_Media_Session_Playlist::init_playlist |
     grep -i asset_id= |
     awk '{print $1}'|tr -d ":"
     )

   #psh $BLADE "grep "$ASSETID" /opt/VideoServer/logs/streamer_log.txt | head -1 | awk '{print $8}'"
   echo "$ASSETID is on $BLADE"
 done

Then quote variable references:

Code:

psh "$BLADE" "grep $ASSETID /opt/VideoServer/logs/streamer_log.txt | head -1 | awk '{print $8}'"

You have 6 calls to grep and two to awk for every iteration of the loop. It would probably be more efficient to process the input before entering the loop, but you haven't supplied the contents of $SESSIONS, so it may not be.

It shouldn't in this case (because there's a command), but ssh normally reads from the standard input, so it would read the entire output of "echo".

If the problem persists after fixing the quoting, try adding the -n option to ssh.

That could make quoting even more problematic, unless it is only the command itself in the variable and not the arguments.
