Quote the whole command and backslash the command quotes... ssh root@localhost "awk '/processor/{count["proc"]++}; END{print count["proc"] } ' /proc/cpuinfo"

Or do the processing locally and stay away from proc nuttiness, without mucking with ssh and awk.

  grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

Or:

  ssh -l $TARGETUSER $TARGETHOST "[ -e /proc/cpuinfo ] -a grep

^processor | wc -l"

Or, more extremely - if you are doing much of this kind of remote inventory checking, you might consider running ocsinventory-ng with agents on the nodes.

Yes. We use ocsinventory here. Warning: there are a few systems that ocsinventory, or at least the version we put on last year, would literally crash or hang the system.
