[PLUG] Silly rsh question...

[Guillermo Moyna <g.moyna@usip.edu>]

Hi,

I've been trying this for a while now, and have gotten nowhere. In 
c-shell, say I have a variable var. If I want to echo the literal 
variable name (not its value), I would do:

echo '$var'

Which prints '$var' on the screen. Now, if I do the same through rsh, I 
get nothing:

rsh somemachine echo '$var'

And I get null. Any clues as to how to pass something with a $ in it 
protected from the shell through rsh to another machine?

TIA,

Guillermo
