[Spacewalk-list] Running Remote Commands with ">>" In Script

[Ree, Jan-Albert van]

I can confirm this behavour since the latest 2.1  release ; 2.0 did not show this behavior.
I haven't had time to fully track down this so did not yet submit a bug report but any script I try to execute using a '>' (with shell /bin/bash at least, I never use otherwise) just skips the '>' character.

Makes a lot of tasks quite difficult for us unfortunately, so for now I resort to putting scripts under /var/www/html/pub and fetch+execute those instead...

2.1.  I also ran into problems with comparison operators in if statements
but I was able to switch to -lt or -lt.  I would imagine that there has to
be some sort of escape character in the WebUI that tells it to interprete
the literal character, but for now it hasn't been a show stopper.
