Re: ssh breaks while loop


CB wrote:
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?


This isn't Cygwin-specific so it's off-topic for this list.
