What you have here is the shell on machine A interpreting the command line rather than just passing it over to machine B. It seems the semi colon as part of the command to machine A.

Try adding single quotes around the entire command you wish to pass, so probably before the for and after the done although you will have to then consider if you need to escape the single quotes you have in the string you are passing. You might end up with:-
Code:
ssh user@machineB 'for n in `find /data1/ -name \'ini*jsem\'` ; do  echo cp $n "`dirname $n `/` basename $n .jsem`"; done'

Have a play with simpler code to work out what gets passed and how on your systems.

I'm not too sure if ; done is valid either. Does this exact command work when run directly on machine B? If so, then I'm obviously mistaken. So many coding styles.......


I hope that this helps,

uadmin(1M)																uadmin(1M)

NAME
uadmin - administrative control SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep] /sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep] The uadmin command provides control for basic administrative functions. This command is tightly coupled to the system administration proce- dures and is not intended for general use. It may be invoked only by the super-user. Both the cmd (command) and fcn (function) arguments are converted to integers and passed to the uadmin system call. The optional mdep (machine dependent) argument is only available for the cmd values of 1 (A_REBOOT), 2 (A_SHUTDOWN), or 5 (A_DUMP). For any other cmd value, no mdep command-line argument is allowed. When passing an mdep value that contains whitespaces, the string must be grouped together as a single argument enclosed within quotes, for example: uadmin 1 1 "-s kernel/unix" See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ uadmin(2), attributes(5) On systems, shutting down the system by means of uadmin does not update the boot archive. Avoid using this command after manual editing of files such as /etc/system or driver.conf(4). 11 Apr 2005 uadmin(1M)
