Dear Bert,

thank you for your suggestion. The way to redirect only from local.sh is
working.
I thought this wouldn't work, because in my original script remote.sh I
also redirect to another temporary output-file. In this case I was wrong.

Thank you very much!

best regards,
Verena

| Dear list-members,

|

|
| I've reduced my original script to a minimal script which reproduces the

|
| My first script (local.sh) reads a list of worksation cluster clients

| loop a second script (remote.sh) is called in a ssh instruction.
| remote.sh then writes some output to the same output.txt file, but this
| output doesn't reach the output file correctly.
|
| Both the bash-scripts and the output file are stored on an
| NFS-Filesystem (on the workstation cluster server), so every client can
| access them.
|
| | less hosts.inp
| client1
| client2
| client3
| client4
|
| | less local.sh
| #!/bin/bash
| OUTPUT=$HOME/bashtest/output.txt
| INPUT_HOSTS=$HOME/bashtest/hosts.inp
| REMOTE_SKRIPT=$HOME/bashtest/remote.sh
| echo "created from $HOME/bashtest/local.sh" > $OUTPUT
| for HOST in `cat $INPUT_HOSTS`
| do
| ~  echo $HOST >> $OUTPUT
| ~  ssh $HOST $REMOTE_SKRIPT
| ~  echo "" >> $OUTPUT
| done
|
| | less remote.sh
| #!/bin/bash
| OUTPUT=$HOME/bashtest/output.txt
| echo "TEST2" >> $OUTPUT
|
| | less output.txt
| created from /home/user1/bashtest/local.sh
| client1
| ^@^@^@^@^@^@
| client2
| ^@^@^@^@^@^@
| client3
| ^@^@^@^@^@^@
| client4
| ^@^@^@^@^@^@
|
|
| Instead of all the ^@^@^@^@^@^@ rows, output.txt should contain the text
| TEST2
| less thinks output.txt were a binary file.
| I don't understand, why the output-redirection in remote.sh doesn't
| work. If I do the output-redirection in remote.sh to another file, for
| example
| OUTPUT2=$HOME/bashtest/output2.txt
| echo "TEST2" >> $OUTPUT2
| then it works.
| The output-redirection only fails, when the redirection is to the same
| file which is also be written from local.sh.
|
| I appreciate receiving any help.
