    in Command Line

    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 
      1. echo "$(cat /mnt/monitor.sh)"
      (or 
      1. echo "`cat /mnt/monitor.sh`"
      )

      Why not just 
      1. #!/bin/sh
      2. 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.
