Need help redirecting output to a file including errors
Need help redirecting output to a file including errors if any,I have 2 script namely push.ksh and run.ksh, I'm scp'ing push.ksh to another server and executing remotely via run.ksh, the script run.ksh runs locally but does not capture any errors in "servername.out" file (I tried testing various failed conditions like the one below in push.ksh )and always echoes the message "echo "INFO: No Errors found" from run.ksh and moreover I could only see 'uname -n' and 'ls -ltr awk 'NR!=1 && NR!=2 {print $5}' values in servername.out (ofcourse this file is local)even though I'm redirecting both stderr and stdout

push.ksh
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

echo "`uname -n`"

echo "`ls -ltr awk 'NR!=1 && NR!=2 {print $5}'`

ls -l /jdfkds # to test fail condition

if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
	echo "ERROR: Unable to list files"
else
	echo "INFO: Files listed successfully"
fi

run.ksh
Code:
scp <servername> "/tmp/push.ksh"
if ssh <servername> "/tmp/run.ksh 2>&1" | tee "servername.out";then

	if grep -q -i "ERROR" "servername.out";then
		echo "ERROR: Errors found"
	else
		echo "INFO: No Errors found"
	fi
else
	echo "INFO: Success"
fi

push script had errors!

push.ksh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
uname -n

#what is this line supposed to do?
#echo "`ls -ltr awk 'NR!=1 && NR!=2 {print $5}'`

ls -l /jdfkds # to test fail condition

if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
  echo "ERROR: Unable to list files"
else
  echo "INFO: Files listed successfully"
fi

Thanks for correcting the typos it should have been the below line in push.ksh, it just prints the file or directory names and also /tmp/push.ksh in run.ksh script:
echo "`ls -ltr | awk 'NR!=1 && NR!=2 {print $9}'`"

COKEDUDE:I tried different variations to redirect stdout and stderr with/without tee but for any condition it just goes straight to echo "INFO: No Errors found" part instead of "ERROR: Errors found" whenever it encounters the errors.

Can you execute push.ksh in the remote server and see if it working?

And the syntax is incorrect. If you want to print it, it should be
Code:
ls -ltr | awk 'NR>2 {print $9}'
