populate variable from remote result
Hi there

i am trying to pass the result of a remote command into a variable into my script

ie
Code:
#!/bin/sh

var = `ssh remote_box 'uname'`
echo $var

but all i get back is

Code:
./script.sh[3]: var:  not found


However when i add a -x to put it into diag mode i get the following

Code:
+ ssh remote_server uname
+ var = SunOS
./script[3]: var:  not found
+ echo

so it looks like the variable var is actually being populated but i cant echo it


does anybody know what im doing wrong here?

Cheers
Gary

Remove the spaces before and after equal sign
Code:
var=`ssh remote_box 'uname'`
