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. mark > > On 08/09/2016 01:35 PM, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote: >> I need to run a report, source file on system 1, on system 2.
