remsh command

[Nisar Ahmad]

Hi There

I want to append some text to the file on a remort server and tried the following but does not work. Any better idea please ?

ID="Testing"
remsh SERVER /usr/bin/echo $ID >> FILE

Thanks in advance

Hi Nisar

have a look at remsh(1):
Section "EXAMPLES:

Shell metacharacters that are not quoted are interpreted on the local
host; quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote host. Thus
the command line:

remsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile

appends the remote file remotefile to the local file localfile, while
the command line

remsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" otherremotefile

appends remotefile to the remote file otherremotefile.

Hi,

another possible solution:
ID="Testing"
remsh SERVER "/usr/bin/echo $ID >> FILE"

if you want the file on your local machine instead you can try

ID="Testing"
remsh SERVER "/usr/bin/echo $ID" >> FILE
