[Petr Simik_1]

Hi,
A want to output files and include in front of each line server_name or some other specific string.
for example

"syntax" passwd
server1 root,*,123,.....
server1 adm,2,332,.....
..
.

What is the syntax?
Thank you
Petr

Hi,

you can try:

cat /etc/passwd | awk -v H=`hostname` '{printf "%s %s\n", H, $0}'

than you awk verison works.
I use it as folows:

for i in serverlist
do
remsh $i "your_comnd..../etc/passwd |awk ..."
done

than I can get output of same file from different servers and make comparations afterwards.
