That works for me.

Thanks, but that's pretty much what I'm trying with the HERE document. Trouble is, I have a) an sqlquery, o/p piped into b) awk, which I do as one line, breaking it with terminating \ (to make it readable), followed by c) another sqlquery, and a couple of commands.

The issue is that by trying the HERE doc, or making the whole thing a function, and trying ssh server2 func(), or surrounding the whole thing with $(), none of it works, because it all gags on the "\n\n" in the awk script.

I need to run a report, source file on system 1, on system 2. I'd like to do this in one script, not have a second script to run it.

Now cat script | ssh system2 works fine. But no matter what I've tried, it gags on ssh system2 <<EOF blah, blah EOF.

Mostly, I have a multiline awk script in the script, with \ at the end of each line... *but* I think it's seeing "\n" as an eol, and complaining, of course.

Suggestions?

You are probably overlooking that in bash, "here documents" are subject to expansion according rules documented in the bash man page, unless you quote the word you use as the here document delimeter.

That is, try:

ssh system2 <<"EOF" blah, blah EOF

Actually, the script itself is ksh. However, finally getting to email with my manager, he just did it the simpler way, with a separate script to run it. And the reason I didn't realize that his script was working as designed is that unless I fed /dev/null into his script, rather than send a email, it printed the report to the screen....
