Weird tail output over ssh
Hello;

Am trying to correct the formatting of tail output over ssh.
Using the following code:

Code:
echo "" > $FILE
for BOX in $SERVERS
do
echo "Processing on $BOX" |tee -a $FILE
echo "===============================" >> $FILE
sudo ssh $BOX 'TERMINAL="vt100" /usr/bin/sh -s' < /home/dsljseo/backup.template.sh >> $FILE
#sudo ssh $BOX "tail -3 /ulogs/dba_logs/backups/$BOX-bck.log" >> $FILE
echo ""
done

Code:
cat backup.template.sh
#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find /ulogs/dba_logs/backups -type f -mtime -3 -name "*-bck.log")
do
        echo "======> $i <======="
        tail -5 $i
        echo ""
done

Output I am getting:

Code:
  Processing on atb
  ===============================
  ======> /ulogs/dba_logs/backups/asi-bck.log <======= Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:19:02 MST 2012 Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:20:00 MST 2012 Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:21:01 MST 2012 Backups Complete - Process 147 not found
  ** End backup Sun Jan 15 16:22:03 MST 2012 **

Desired output:

Code:
  Processing on atb
  ===============================
  ======> /ulogs/dba_logs/backups/asi-bck.log <======= 

Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:19:02 MST 2012 

Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:20:00 MST 2012 

Process 147 found Sun Jan 15 16:21:01 MST 2012 Backups Complete - Process 147 not found
  ** End backup Sun Jan 15 16:22:03 MST 2012 **

Anything I am missing here ??
Thank you for any ideas

Try redirecting the output of backup.template.sh like below:-

Code:
#!/bin/sh

rm -f output.dat

for i in $(find /ulogs/dba_logs/backups -type f -mtime -3 -name "*-bck.log")
do
        echo "======> $i <=======" >> output.dat
        tail -5 $i >> output.dat
        echo ""   >> output.dat
done

And then remotely print (using ssh) the output.dat file in the main script.

Thnx, but that did not solve the problem
The output is still concatenated instead on separate lines
