Full Discussion: Running local script remotely with arguments
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Running local script remotely with arguments Post 303030704 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 14th of February 2019 11:33:58 AM

Because arguments are passed as strings, embedded spaces are lost normally.
The original script makes an attempt to retain arguments with embedded special characters.
The improved original script is
Code:
$ cat runremote.sh
#!/bin/bash
# runremote.sh
# usage: runremote.sh localscript remoteuser remotehost arg1 arg2 ...

realscript=$1
user=$2
host=$3
shift 3 || exit

args=$(printf "%q " "$@")
ssh "$user@$host" "bash -s $args" < "$realscript"

Demonstration example
Code:
$ cat echo.sh
for i
do
   echo "$i"
done

Code:
$ /bin/bash echo.sh winter "summer time" "*"
winter
summer time
*
$ ./runremote.sh echo.sh user host winter "summer time" "*"
winter
summer time
*
