Hi List,

I am having a problem trying to do the following:
ssh postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'psql -Atc "select a.interface,
a.source_ip,a.dest_ip from kernel_gre a, ospfd_interface b where a.interface
= b.interface and config ilike '%cost 50%';" config.db'

bash turns it into this:
ssh postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'psql -Atc "select a.interface,
a.source_ip,a.dest_ip from kernel_gre a, ospfd_interface b where a.interface
= b.interface and config ilike %cost' '50%;" config.db'

try:

ssh postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'psql -Atc "select a.interface,
a.source_ip,a.dest_ip from kernel_gre a, ospfd_interface b where
a.interface = b.interface and config ilike '%cost 50%';" config.db'

which bash turns into:

ssh postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx psql -Atc "select a.interface,
a.source_ip,a.dest_ip from kernel_gre a, ospfd_interface b where
a.interface = b.interface and config ilike '%cost 50%'" config.db

Argh!

I mean:

ssh postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx psql -Atc \"select a.interface,
a.source_ip,a.dest_ip from kernel_gre a, ospfd_interface b where
a.interface = b.interface and config ilike \'%cost 50%\'\" config.db

Great! that did it thanks a bunch!!!

Regards,
Steve
