1.5.24-2 question about using echo on remote node.

[Prakash Babu]

Hello all,
 
I am trying to run the following command using cygwin
on a remote node using ssh.
 
/bin/sh -c 'echo Number=\1234567\   /tmp/file1'
 
The command executes successfully but the  file has
content Number=1234567(double quotes missing) instead
of Number=1234567.
 
The same command works as expected when i run it from
red hat Linux.
 
Any idea on why this is happening.
 
thanks,
Prakash

No idea.

If I cut and paste your command directly from your email and into my
rxvt bash window, it runs properly (double-quotes are in the resulting
file).

Following the

might help narrow it down.
