Have you tried quoting it?
ie: ssh userid@sol8 'fuser blah'
jpiszcz@slack91:~$ ssh -p 22 localhost 'ls -l test'
jpiszcz@localhost's password:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 jpiszcz wheel 4096 Aug 10 13:11 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 jpiszcz wheel 0 Aug 10 13:11 b
jpiszcz@slack91:~$

Subject: ssh remote command fuser does not work
Cannot get remote command fuser to work (although other commands ok) -
keep getting select: Bad file number'
I've set up public/private key authentication between a
Solaris 9 system running SSH Version Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions
1.5/2.0. and a
Soalris 8 system running OpenSSH_3.8p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
I've got ssh and sftp and scp finally to work, but I am left with one
problem, I can use ssh from sol9 to sol8 to start a remote session. I
can ssh from sol9 to sol8 to execute some remote commands, but not fuser
i.e. all from the solaris 9 system
ssh userid@anothersol9 ls works fine
ssh userid@anothersol9 fuser afile works fine
ssh userid@sol8 ls works fine
ssh userid@sol8 fuser afile fails, I get
select: Bad file number
Having seen this type of message before when it was to do with paths, I
have tried the following...
created a logical link from /usr/bin/fuser to the /usr/sbin/bin/fuser ,
still got the same 'select: Bad file number'
created a test file in the home directory of the userid on the sol8
(server) system and tried
ssh userid@sol8 ./test and it worked ok, so I tried creating a
logical link from the home directory of
userid on sol8 called fuser
poining to /usr/sbin/fuser and tried again
ssh userid@sol8 ./fuser a file and it still failed with 'select: Bad
file number' . I even tried copying fuser to
home directory of userid on sol8
, and even though ssh userid@sol8 ./test
works , ssh userid@sol8 ./fuser
afile still fails
I'm really stuck , any help/hints gratefully received
