ssh read output

cloudsuser

With the help of ssh i would like to execute script and redirect the output in my local file

$ssh -i keypair1.pem root@ -C sh /mnt/monitor.sh >> /root/imgManagementOutput.txt

source: monitor.sh

echo `cat /mnt/imageOutput.txt`

Source: /mnt/imageOutput.txt

line1

line2

Expected Output:

line1

line2

Actual Output:

line1 line2

I am looking for the output should be as "Expected Output" as it is not in a single line...

Try it with

echo "$(cat /mnt/monitor.sh)"

(or

echo "`cat /mnt/monitor.sh`"

)

Why not just

#!/bin/sh
cat /mnt/imageOutput.txt

Why are you echoing the output of cat? (Which itself is basically "echoing" the text file?)

What happens if you don't redirect the output to a file? Does it look right then? What about if you log onto <host> and run /mnt/monitor.sh. Does it look right when you're not piping through ssh? Try and strip away as much as you can and you'll probably find where the problem lies.
