Hi
If i am locally on a box the following works fine
ROOTDEV=`cat /boot/grub/grub.conf | grep "^\#.*root\=" | awk '{print $5}'`
but if i put this into a script to run from another host it fails eg
ssh $HOST 'ROOTDEV=`cat /boot/grub/grub.conf | grep "^\#.*root\=" | awk
'{print $5}'`'
awk: cmd. line:1: {print
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string
seems the space in the print $5 upsets things - anyone know how to
escape this space out so it will work?
thanks
