Hello experts, I need ur help on solving this problem. I am writing a automation tool that runs several shell scripts on different remote hosts using ssh. These scripts need various pre-defined variables to run. I want to provide these variables to the script by exporting these variables after doing ssh and then run the script that use it, like this: a=10 ssh -l $user $host "export myVar=$a; cd $myDir; ./myScript.sh" this doesn't work, as probably the ssh shell might not understand the export command. Can anybody please tell me how shall i solve this problem. Thanks. Gajendra
