I want to run an Alias in Destination Server which the alias name is $VAR. I used this line in my script:

ssh -o Loglevel=QUIET -t user@192.168.x.x /bin/bash -ic '$VAR'

$VAR alias will run another script in the destination server.

But the output of my script is:

/bin/bash: -c: option requires an argument.

Can anybody help me how can I run output of a variable in SSH command?

Where is `$VAR` defined? If on the local side, then you need to change your single quotes to double quotes. – Dennis Williamson Jun 22 '19 at 12:48

`'$VAR' ` is not resolving to its value since its in a single quote. Remove the quote and its should work fine. – Govind Kailas Jun 22 '19 at 13:06

Thank you guys, that was my fault. Double quote helps. – saeed.latifi Jun 23 '19 at 04:48
