Subject: Sending variables via rsh which contains "$"
Hello Everybody, 
 
Does anybody knows how to make a shellscript pass a variable which contains
"$" followed by a number, without having it changed to null? 
 
Example: 
 
1) root@server1:/usr/local/bin/ <mailto:root@server1:/usr/local/bin/>  #
echo test*$89
    test*9
2) root@server1:/usr/local/bin/ <mailto:root@server1:/usr/local/bin/>  #
echo 'test*$89'
    test*$89
3) root@server1:/usr/local/bin/ <mailto:root@server1:/usr/local/bin/>  # rsh
server2 echo test*$89
    test*9
4) root@server1:/usr/local/bin/ <mailto:root@server1:/usr/local/bin/>  # rsh
server2 echo 'test*$89'
    test*9
 
Command #4 doesn't work as expected and always converts the $8 to null.
Already tryed changing the ' ' to \' \' as well as a lot of other weird
combinations with ', ´, `, and ", without success.  Any help will be highly
appreciated.
