Don’t get AFP connected user list via ssh

[aaulich]

Hi there,

I try connecting to my AFP file server (no matter if it’s running 10.6.8 or 10.7.2) using ssh to ask for a list of connected users:

ssh root@server.local 'serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers'

When I issue the command above, the reply only includes the first user connected to the server.
This looks like this:

afp:state = "RUNNING"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:state = 1
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:ipAddress = "10.0.2.6"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:name = "test1"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:loginElapsedTime = 136
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:sessionID = 16
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:serviceType = "afp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:minsToDisconnect = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:lastUseElapsedTime = 7
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:disconnectID = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:sessionType = "tcp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:flags = 0
afp:timeStamp = "2011-11-07 11:00:32 +0100"

When I run the same command on the server (again as root),
I get the list of all connected users:

afp:state = "RUNNING"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:lastUseElapsedTime = 36
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:minsToDisconnect = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:sessionType = "tcp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:state = 1
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:serviceType = "afp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:ipAddress = "10.0.2.6"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:sessionID = 16
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:loginElapsedTime = 40
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:disconnectID = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:name = "andre"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:0:flags = 1
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:lastUseElapsedTime = 23
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:minsToDisconnect = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:sessionType = "tcp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:state = 1
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:serviceType = "afp"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:ipAddress = "10.0.2.7"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:sessionID = 22
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:loginElapsedTime = 24
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:disconnectID = 0
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:name = "andre"
afp:usersArray:_array_index:1:flags = 1
afp:timeStamp = "2011-11-07 10:06:12 +0000"

Does anyone have an idea, why the same command piped through
ssh returns a different output from the locally invoked command?

Piping something like ‘cat /var/log/system.log’ through ssh gives me
the full output of the command, so I guess this must be a limitation
of serveradmin.

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

André
