(I don't really know /where/ to ask this question. It's not particularly FreeBSD-centric, but the list has been good to me in the past, so hopefully nobody minds.)
I'm trying to write a shell script that runs a for loop in an SSH session. Simply, I'm trying to do this: for HOST in `cat hostnames` ; do ssh ${HOST} "for PROCESS in 01 02 ; do echo '${PROCESS}' ; done" done But because this is run in a script, that gets translated to: for HOST in `cat hostnames` ; do ssh ${HOST} "for PROCESS in 01 02 ; do echo '' ; done" done Which most definitely is not what I want. I know a few ways around this -- expand the for loop, have a secondary script, create a secondary script on-the-fly, etc. -- but I'm curious to see if I can convince sh to *not* interpret ${PROCESS}. I've tried escaping it, I've tried a double-dollar, and I've tried escaping the double-dollar: none have worked. Does anyone have any ideas? - Damian P.S.
