Passing variables in remote ssh command
If you use
ssh [email protected] "~/tools/run_pvt.pl $BUILD_NUMBER"
instead of
ssh [email protected] '~/tools/run_pvt.pl $BUILD_NUMBER'
your shell will interpolate the $BUILD_NUMBER before sending the command string to the remote host.
Variables in single-quotes are not evaluated. Use double quotes:
ssh [email protected] "~/tools/run_pvt.pl $BUILD_NUMBER"
The shell will expand variables in double-quotes, but not in single-quotes. This will change into your desired string before being passed to the ssh command.
