Passing special characters in an SSH connection
I have a script like this

Code:
#!/bin/bash

hello=$1
echo `hostname` $hello
ssh gtint16 "echo $hello"

if I run this as #script.sh "hello''", it prints only hello on that ssh session and not the single quotes, but locally its printing hello''. I want the single quotes also to be printed in that ssh session. If I run #script.sh hello\'\', its printing in both places. But unfortunately I cant run it this way due to some reasons and dependencies. Is there any thing I can use inside the script to accept special characters and print in the ssh session.

ssh-argv0

SSH-ARGV0(1)                                                BSD General Commands Manual                                               SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME

     ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

SYNOPSIS

     hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]

     hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
     [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling.  If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
     equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

OPTIONS

     See ssh(1).

FILES

     See ssh(1).
