Now I find the above a bit confusing because in the next command, there is no problem with the pipe to egrep. echo|set /p="clear;echo Hub7;ssh -q 169.254.64.112 ethtool eth2|egrep 'Speed|Duplex|Auto-neg|Link';echo Hub8;ssh -q 169.254.64.128 ethtool eth2|egrep 'Speed|Duplex|Auto-neg|Link'"|...

If the quotation mark next to done belongs to your command line you have to add it also with three carets escaped (because it's an unbalanced quotation mark). <nul set /p "=for b in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14; do echo;echo "BLADE ${b}";ssh -q `hostname | cut -d "-...

The pipe character '|' has a special meaning (the same as in linux) and has to be escaped (using '^'), if you want to use it as a simple text (outside of doublequotes).

Ok, stand down, I found found the problem. I had another line before the check.

Thanks for your responses.
