Currently I have 1 server and 2 slaves, I wan to get hostname and version from slaves using SSH command. Code: while read line do #read hostname #read line num=0 ssh -t -t ${line} < cmd > test2.txt num=1 if [ $num -eq 1 ] then ssh -t -t ${line} < cmd >> test2.txt fi done echo "done" exit 0 the code is work fine. but I'm kinda dissapointed on the results. I got what I wan but just too much.
