List,
This is one that deserves a SUMMARY when solved!
I'm trying to capture the output of ssh -V into a variable.
The command
SSH_VERSION=`/usr/local/bin/ssh -V`
actually returns the output of the command to the screen and nothing into
the variable!
$ SSH_VERSION=`ssh -V`
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
$ echo $SSH_VERSION
$
I've tried this on a Solaris 8 x86 with Open SSH 3.8.1 and also on a Solaris
9 SPARC with SUN_SSH 1.0
and got the same results on both boxes with ksh, sh or bash!!!
Even if I try something like:
ssh -V > pluto
I get
$ ssh -V > pluto
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
$ ls -l pluto
-rw-r--r-- 1 bb bb 0 Jul 20 16:12 pluto
$
Any idea, anyone?
Cheers
Loris
