Arranging output for 2 commands

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I am trying to run 2 sets of commands but want their output in a particular format.

The 2 commands are :

md5sum $WAR_DIR/$war

and

java -jar $WAR_DIR/$war | grep build.release.version | awk '{print $3}'

The first command gives an output of

5f5261a33b92a36f80218cf14e8271ad  /opt/msdp/ca/iam_cac/webapps/consumerProfile.war

The second command gives an output of

1.01.00.00

Now I am running this remotely ::

ssh user@10.169.99.189 "md5sum $WAR_DIR/$war ; java -jar $WAR_DIR/$war | grep build.release.version | awk '{print $3}'"

The output I am getting is::

5f5261a33b92a36f80218cf14e8271ad  /opt/msdp/ca/iam_cac/webapps/consumerProfile.war
1.01.00.00

The output I am looking for is all the 3 values in 1 line ::

5f5261a33b92a36f80218cf14e8271ad  /opt/msdp/ca/iam_cac/webapps/consumerProfile.war 1.01.00.00

Do I need to use some awk or sed functionality here ?

Untested, but the following should come close to what you seem to want:

ssh user@10.169.99.189 "{ md5sum \"$WAR_DIR/$war\"; java -jar \"$WAR_DIR/$war\"; } | awk 'NR==1{s=$0;next}/build[.]release[.]version/{print s, $3;exit}'"

Using the nearest to the code that I could but converting the grep into an awk clause, could I also suggest (also untested):-

ssh user@10.169.99.189 "md5sum \"$WAR_DIR/$war\" ; java -jar \"$WAR_DIR/$war\" | awk '/build.release.version/ {print $3}' " | tr "\n" " "

This does assume that you will only get the items you wanted returned. The tr simple converts the new-line into a space, which may or may not be what you want or could have some unwanted side-effects.

I hope that this helps or get corrected if appropriate.

How about

ssh host "commands" | tr '
' ' '

Or, move the tr to run in the server, if electricity is cheaper there :slight_smile:

Meh, I'm an idiot, same as rbatte1's post.

You could try:

$ echo $(ssh user@10.169.99.189 "md5sum $WAR_DIR/$war ; java -jar $WAR_DIR/$war | awk '/build.release.version/ {print $3}' ")
