Create two scripts.
**automation.sh**:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -x
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname "$0") || exit 1
HOST=$1
echo $HOST
ssh vyos@10.0.0.1 '/bin/vbash -s' < "${SCRIPT_DIR}/some_script.sh" "${HOST}"
```
**some_script.sh**:
```
#!/bin/vbash
source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template
HOSTNAME="$1"
# Load VyOS environment
echo $HOSTNAME
```
Now, with both scripts in the local directory, run
```
./automation.sh test
```
Observe on the local side, "test" is printed.
On the remote side, "1" is printed. "test" is expected.
This worked with 1.3.
```
