I have a sourcefile (config) with:

TEST=master.url.com

I have a bash script which is written like this. I ssh to a server and I try to login on my cluster. I have to perform login -s masterurl as command:

#!/bin/bash
ssh -i mykey.pem centos@ec2-xx-xx 'login -s ${TEST}'

Now I try to use the ${TEST} between the single quotes. It has to show master.url.com but I don't get this working. Someone who can help me?

Use double quotes. – heijp06 Apr 18 '16 at 17:54
thanks @hejip06, I tried a lot but always with my single quotes on the outside. Sorry – DenCowboy Apr 18 '16 at 17:56

This is, effectively, a duplicate of [Difference between single and double quotes in bash](http://stackoverflow.com/q/6697753/258523) which is linked from the bash info page. – Etan Reisner Apr 18 '16 at 18:07
