[HPADM] RE: weird remsh/awk behavior

A couple of mentioned that I can remove the "" around the command that remsh
is executing. That works, however, the awk is actually being done on the
local machine then. This would be fine, except that what I'm really trying
to do is kill some processes on a remote system:

remsh <remote> "ps -fu <user> | grep <program> | grep -v grep | awk '{print
$2}' | xargs kill -15"

So, the entire command has to be on the remote system.

        Has anyone noticed the following remsh/awk behavior and if so, a
workaround?

        Issuing who on the local machine works as expected.

        $ who
        dmullins pts/ta Nov 2 13:10
        npathil pts/tb Nov 3 16:30
        cdigrego pts/tc Nov 5 05:18

        Issuing who on the local machine and using awk to print out just the
user
        name works as expected.

        $ who | awk '{print $1}'
        dmullins
        npathil
        cdigrego

        Using remsh to issue who on a remote machine works as expected.

        $ remsh dhapp01 "who"
        plpcd5 pts/ta Nov 5 09:21
        gpaveza pts/tc Nov 5 09:27

        Using remsh to issue a who on a remote machine and using awk to
print out
        just the user name fails to work.
         
        $ remsh dhapp01 "who | awk '{print $1}'"
        sh: 1: Parameter not set.
