syntax
 

Hi all,

I need to ssh to the remote server and run the ps command, below is the command I have issue, can you please advise?

ssh servername "hostname; `ps -L -U oracle|grep java |wc -l`"

It looks as if you have done .

Your question does not explain why you have not found your command satisfactory now how you chose those details for the command.

The backticks look like a mistake. What are they for?

basically on one command I would like to do three things: ssh to the remote server, get the host name and run the count on oracle with java process

is it possible?

thanks remove the `` did the trick

what would be equivalent syntax of -L and -U on Solaris?

The `` is for execution of the contents between the ``. The $() is the more modern bash equivalent.

$ export TEMP=`echo "hello"`
$ echo $TEMP

same as

$ export TEMP=$(echo "hello")
$ echo $TEMP
