: I also found this: : http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2005/msg00295.html : : Obviously that won't work for bash or ksh.
interesting ... i allways assumed it worked because the shell wasn't evaluating the * when executed by ssh, i had no idea the the shell tries to expand it and leaves it alone if there is no expansion. Bill: what do you think about explicitly putting in the single quotes as Hui suggested? that should still work under bash and sh right? -Hoss
