This command doesn't work:
ssh $HOST "ls -l | awk '{print $1}'"`
Above ignores the command awk
. I think it might be because of the double quotes?
Also, how would I add another set of double quotes inside the awk?
ie:
ssh $HOST "awk '{print $1 "*"}' /some_file"
I tried escaping the quotes, I even tried this:
ssh $HOST "awk '{print $1 "\""*"\""}' /some_file"
without success.
