Hello, all,
Thanks to all the response except one complaim about my question.
It is too many to list individually here. Thanks, you wonderful guys.
The answer is simple, I believe I got first answer within a half hour. I need
put double quotation on :
`rsh host-name finger | grep console`
so, now everyone know I am not a frequently shell programmer.
Thanks!
Feng
