I have a command which uses awk that I am trying to run remotely via SSH.
This is the command and a sample output when it is run locally:
df -h -P | awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$5,$6}'
Filesystem Size Used Use% Mounted
/dev/mapper/volgroup00-lv_root 3.9G 2.7G 74% /
tmpfs 2.9G 0 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/volgroup00-lv_seemis 4.4G 3.6G 87% /STORE
/dev/sda1 477M 195M 44% /boot
/dev/sdb1 30G 26G 90% /data
The output of that command is then processed by the rest of my script. However, when I try to run the command remotely it produces an error. Here is an example of the remote command and the error it produces (where $servername is the FQDN of the server and $user is the SSH user):
timeout 10s ssh -n $user@$servername "df -h -P | awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$5,$6}'"
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,,,,}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string
I feel that this has something to do with the use of $1, $2 etc. when running the command remotely.
How can I get around this error that awk is producing?
