I need to escape the ' in this command for ssh exec

grep IPADDR /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 |awk -F= '{print $2}'

How do I escape that?

I currentl y have this which does not work

ssh host 'grep IPADDR /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 |awk -F= '{print $2}''

nor does this

ssh host 'grep IPADDR /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 |awk -F= \'{print $2}\''
