Re: how to run remote bash scripts with "|", "-" characters in it

[Hans Schou]

Explamation point is a problem.

WRONG: echo "Hello, world!"

RIGHT: echo "Hello, world"\!

OR: echo Hello, world\!

Will this work?

#! /bin/bash

cd /dir/logs/pot1/jagger

for f in logs-2013-10-09-*.gz; do

    echo Hello World "|  Hi Hell"\!\!" , | , |"

    zcat $f | /bin/egrep 'TIMEOUT|error' | /bin/egrep GSMTable

done

Hi,

I have a minimal bash executable script to be run across N hosts. I do it this way

cat hosts.txt |parallel -j 0 -u rsync -Ha /home/user/dirname/hello {}:/home/user/hello \; ssh {} /home/user/hello

hello is a bash script with executable perms for all. The script looks like below-

#!/bin/bash

cd /dir/logs/pot1/jagger
for f in `ls logs-2013-10-09-*.gz`; do
    echo Hello World "|  Hi Hell!! , | , |"
    zcat $f |/bin/grep \\-E 'TIMEOUT|error' |/bin/grep \\-E GSMTable
done;

However I am facing issues from using the pipe symbol (|) in the script. It is not outputtting the expected result; when I run and see on a single host too. How do I make use of pipes (|) within such scripts to be run remotely ? If I put a simple script with "echo hello world" in it only then it works fine. The issue crops up when I make it little complex like making use of "|" and/or "-" or "--" characters in the script. The "-" and "--" are options used with some command line programs.

Thanks in advance

~Ciao.
