Zenity remote display text issue

  • 772

When i run command:

ssh user@host "zenity --warning --width=500 --no-wrap --text="Your $VPN is not connected. Please connect it or inform to engineer" --display=:0"

If I use single quote then it works fine but there is a variable so I had to use double quote and It display like:

ssh

    Use single quotes for the message like this:

    ssh user@host "zenity --warning --width=500 --no-wrap --text='Your $VPN is not connected. Please connect it or inform to engineer' --display=:0"

    Or escape the double quotes for the message like this:

    ssh user@host "zenity --warning --width=500 --no-wrap --text=\"Your $VPN is not connected. Please connect it or inform to engineer\" --display=:0"
