I have a script on a server-A
Script-A
#!/bin/bash -l
echo "script-A.sh" | change-environment.sh
When I ssh onto server-A and execute it, it works fine. However, when I
ssh user@server-A ./script-A.sh
Script-A executes, but throws an undefined variable error in change-environment.sh.
change-environment.sh runs in the c shell(I have no control over the script so the method I have used is about the only way I can use it), but everything else is in bash.
Had found a similar question at I can run a script locally, but cannot do "ssh HOSTNAME /path/to/script.sh". However, there was no solution to the issue and it was a year old.
