[StarCluster] Problem using StarCluster command in shell scripts

[Mrinal Zalpuri]

Hello,

 

I am facing some issue when using starcluster commands from shell sripts. I
a shell script test.sh which has this code

*************

#!/bin/sh -xv

 

cmd="mkdir -p /usr/local/test_lpapp"

args=""

starcluster sshmaster scsmallcluster \'$cmd $args\'

************

 

When I run this on command prompt, I am getting this error

*****************

#!/bin/sh -xv

 

cmd="mkdir -p /usr/local/test_lpapp"

+ cmd=mkdir -p /usr/local/test_lpapp

args=""

+ args=

starcluster sshmaster scsmallcluster \'$cmd $args\'

+ starcluster sshmaster scsmallcluster 'mkdir -p /usr/local/test_lpapp '

StarCluster - (http://web.mit.edu/starcluster) (v. 0.93.3)

Usage: sshmaster [options] <cluster> [<remote-command>]

 

    SSH to a cluster's master node

 

    Example:

 

        $ sshmaster mycluster

 

    You can also execute commands without directly logging in:

 

        $ starcluster sshmaster mycluster 'cat /etc/hosts'

 

starcluster: error: no such option: -p

***************

But if I run starcluster sshmaster scsmallcluster 'mkdir -p
/usr/local/test_lpapp ' directly from the command prompt it works. Also if I
remove everything else and just keep this command in my script then also it
works. But when creating this command using arguments/variables it created
problem

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

best regards
