How to force setenv while rsh?

[suhaimi]

Hi all,
How could I force setenv while doing rsh? Whenever I do this,
hostA> rsh hostB "setenv ORACLE_SID TEMP;echo $ORACLE_SID"
PROD8
it'll return something else not "TEMP". Suppose:
hostA> rsh hostB "setenv ORACLE_SID TEMP;echo $ORACLE_SID"
TEMP

Please help.
Thanks,
Suhaimi

rsh hostB "echo $SHELL"
say?

I just found out you have to use ' instead of "
eg:
[fp@admin6] % echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
[fp@admin6] % rsh spqr "echo $SHELL"
/bin/csh
[fp@admin6] % rsh spqr 'echo $SHELL'
/usr/bin/tcsh
[fp@admin6] % rsh spqr
fp@SPQR:~: echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/tcsh
fp@SPQR:~:
