Hi, I am using openssh from Debian Lenny which is version 1:5.1p1-5. I am using ssh to run a command on a remote host running Debian Lenny as well. The line I am editing with sed looks like this: '(proxyAddresses=*)' 2>$ERRORLOG | $GREP -if $RELAYDOMAINS | $GREP -Fi smtp \ I am running the following command to update the line as follows: ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "sed -i 's/$GREP -Fi smtp/$GREP -Fi smtp | $SORT -u/' /usr/local/bin/script.sh" But what I find is that the line ends up looking like this on the remote host: '(proxyAddresses=*)' 2>$ERRORLOG | $GREP -if $RELAYDOMAINS | $GREP -Fi smtp | -u \ The important part being "| -u" which should look like "| $SORT -u". This command works fine when running it on the command line directly. Could I be missing something or perhaps this is a bug? Thanks, James
