Hi, I'm running a command like this: for i in server1 server2;do ssh root@$i "`hostname`";done. However the hostname command always outputs the hostname of the server that the above command is run from. I'd like to know how to run this hostname command so that it actually runs on server 1, server2 etc.. Thanks Dan
Content inside double quotes is evaluated by shell, so backtick expansion happens on localhost.
Use single quotes, instead, like so: for i in server1 server2;do ssh root@$i '`hostname`';done HTH -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
