Hi all,

I am calling Temp.sh and it is has simple line

$gpath=`which gzip`
$gpath $FilePath/My_temp.log

if I run this script, logging to server then its works fine. But when I send this script over the SSH it does not work at it. gzip is command is not execute.

I am using

gzip 1.6

I'm pretty sure above script does NOT run unless the and $ be removed.

Please share your ssh command line so we can analyse and help.

Quite sure the is supposed to make it bold, while the (first) $ indicates it was run as user.
EDIT: But you're right, better not just assume this.
