This is the command string I am sending to the remote server:



ssh -vvvv heat-admin@host.com ''pidstat -t -p '`pidof ovs-vswitchd` 1 1 | grep -E pmd|%CPU'


and this is what I am seeing being sent:



pidstat -t -p `pidof ovs-vswitchd` 1 1 | grep -E pmd\|%CPU


Everything is correct except for the double back slashes, it should only be a single slash.
