 Unix Tip #4219- August 30, 2012
 
PIPES AND QUOTING  
  
When you do rsh (remsh in HP-UX) followed by a series of  
pipes, consider carefully whether you want the pipe processes  
to run on the local or the remote host. If you quote the  
pipes, then they become part of the arguments passed to  
the remote host and evaluated there.  E.g.  
  
rsh myRemoteHost last "|" grep userName "|" head  
  
(In this example, we pipe the output of last to grep,  
because in Solaris "last userName" only shows console  
logins, not FTP logins.)
