Escape single quotes ssh remote command
bash, double-quotes, quotes, ssh
Solution
In your first try you use double-quotes `"` so you need to escape the `$` character:
ssh root@server "ps uax|grep bac | grep -v grep | awk '{ print \$2 }' > /tmp/back.tmp"

Also, you can use:
ps uax | grep 'ba[c]' | ...
so then you don't need the `grep -v grep` step.
Problem
I read any solutions for escaping single quotes on a remote command over ssh. But any work fine. I'm trying ``` ssh root@server "ps uax|grep bac | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }' > /tmp/back.tmp" ``` AWK doesn't work: ``` ssh root@server "ps uax|grep bac | grep -v grep | awk \'{ print $2 }\' > /tmp/back.tmp" .... awk: '{ awk: ^ caracter ''' inválido en la expresión ``` And I tried using single quotes on the command line, but they also didn't work.
