NOTE:
cvs = Concurrent Versions System
commit = commit to the cvs repository
-m = What follows in the quotes is the Log message for this revision
"This is" = the Log message for this revision
./q.sh = the file
This works:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
set -- cvs commit -m "This is the comment" ./q.sh
"$@"
exit 0
What I want to be able to do is dynamically create that whole string in the script and execute it.
This fails
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
STATEMENT="set -- cvs commit -m \"This is the comment\" ./q.sh "
"$STATEMENT"
exit 0
This fails
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
STATEMENT="set -- cvs commit -m \"This is the comment\" ./q.sh "
$STATEMENT
exit 0
This is so frustrating because it seems so simple. I am feeling like a not so bright person right now.

I'm not very familiar with the ssh command. When I tried to set a variable and then echo its value on a remote machine via ssh, I found a problem. For example,
$ ITSME=itsme
$ ssh xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx "ITSME=itsyou; echo $ITSME"
itsme
$ ssh xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx 'ITSME=itsyou; echo $ITSME'

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
