I am trying to fetch only column using awk in OS commands like uname -a , uptime, using pssh multiple commands, But it's not giving correct output.
Using "uname -a" is just an example i have shown, I meant to say awk is not working even any of the command, I tried only particular field of uptime via awk but no luck.
Please let me know, if there is any possibility..

My need is to place the commands in same line and Below is the command, I'm trying, which gives correct output. But Not with awk

pssh -h /tmp/hosts -i 'echo "$(echo -n);$(date);$(uname -a)"'

Below is the commands using with awk command is Not working

pssh -h /tmp/hosts -i 'echo "$(echo -n);$(date);$(uname -a|awk '{print $3}')"'

You can see what's going wrong if you turn on bash shell debugging

$ set -x

$ parallel-ssh -h hostsfile -i 'echo "$(uname -a | awk '{print $3}')"'

+ parallel-ssh -h hostsfile -i 'echo "$(uname -a | awk {print' '})"'

So the invoking shell is splitting the command into two arguments:

echo "$(uname -a | awk {print

and

$3})"

(with $3 being expanded to an empty value). This is one of the (rare) cases where the usual "if in doubt, add quotes" doesn't help you - the double quotes around the command substitution in the echo aren't really necessary, and if you remove them you can get rid of one level of quote nesting. Then you can just do

$ parallel-ssh -h hostsfile -i 'echo $(date) $(uname -a|awk "{print $3}")'

where

• single quotes around the whole pssh argument prevent the invoking shell from expanding and running the command substitutions locally




• double quotes around the awk expression DON'T prevent $3 frombeing expanded by the remote shell, so backslash escape it

Alternatively, you can add literal single quotes around the awk expression by opening and closing the single quotes:

'echo $(date) $(uname -a|awk '''{print $3}''')'
