17 responses (and counting!) in less than 10 minutes. That's goooood! ;-) Ok, "ssh -V" redirects to STDERR, so something like SSH_VERSION=`ssh -V 2>&1` will do the job just fine. Thanks a mill to EVERYBODY Loris -----Original Message----- From: Loris Serena Sent: 20 July 2004 16:16 To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: capture output of `ssh -V`to a variable 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?
