Run recursive function with variables over SSH
Hi,

I don't know if you can help or if this is even possible, but I am trying to run the following function over an ssh and (depending on the itteration I choose) keep getting unexpected token or undefined symbol errors.

The function is:

Code:
killtree()
{
  typeset parent=$1
  typeset child
  for child in $(pgrep -P $parent)
  do
    killtree $child
  done

  kill -9 $parent
}

I know that I have to pass the function as part of the ssh and have tried variations such as:
Code:
ssh $REMOTE_INT_IP 'killtree() {typeset parent=\$1; typeset child; for child in \${pgrep -P \$parent}; do killtree \$child; done; kill -9 \$parent}'

and

Code:
 ssh $REMOTE_INT_IP killtree='function kt $1 {typeset parent=\$1; typeset child; for child in \${pgrep -P \$parent}; do killtree \$child; done; kill -9 \$parent}'

The latter is something I tried after reading other posts. Obiosly I know I need to pass a command to run the function as well but currently I'm just struggling to get it to accept it as a function.

Any idea would be really appreciated.

xtunmanagechildren

XtUnmanageChildren(3X)						   XT FUNCTIONS 					    XtUnmanageChildren(3X)

NAME

       XtUnmanageChildren - unmanage children

SYNTAX

       typedef Widget *WidgetList;

       void XtUnmanageChildren(children, num_children)
	     WidgetList children;
	     Cardinal num_children;

ARGUMENTS

       children  Specifies a list of child widgets.

       num_children
		 Specifies the number of children.

DESCRIPTION

       The XtUnmanageChildren function performs the following:

       o    Issues an error if the children do not all have the same parent or if the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass.

       o    Returns immediately if the common parent is being destroyed; otherwise, for each unique child on the list, XtUnmanageChildren performs
	    the following:

	    -	 Ignores the child if it already is unmanaged or is being destroyed and marks it if not.

	    -	 If the child is realized, it makes it nonvisible by unmapping it.

       o    Calls the change_managed routine of the widgets' parent after all children have been marked if the parent is realized.

       XtUnmanageChildren does not destroy the children widgets.  Removing widgets from a parent's managed set is often a temporary banishment,
       and, some time later, you may manage the children again.
