- Subject: ssh breaks while loop
If file hostlist contains:
hosta
hostb
hostc
then execute this shell script:
while read host
do
ssh $host ls -al .profile
done < hostlist
the while loop executes one time and quits.
But,
while read host
do
echo $host
done < hostlist
executes 3 times.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
