Hi there,
I am trying to use ssh to do some file mainpulation on a remote host.
Consider bash script.
if [ ! ` ssh $user@$host ls /host/home/user/tmp/bin/$dir_name ` ]; then
echo -e " \\t Hm! $dir_name is not there, creat $dir_name"
etc ...
fi
this is working OK.
but if I say
if [ ! ` ssh $user@$host ls -ls /host/home/user/tmp/bin/$dir_name ` ];
# NOTE ls -al option
etc...
fi
it does not work error message: ./test: [: too many arguments
Q1. Could you tell me why?
Q2 Any suggestion to make it working.
Thank you in advance.
Ivan.
