I want to replace the below string

su - oracle -c "$agent_home/bin/emctl control agent runCollection ex01cel01:oracle_exadata oracle_exadata_configuration"

to replace with

su - oracle -c "'$agent_home'/bin/emctl control agent runCollection ex01cel01 :oracle_exadata oracle_exadata_configuration"

note:extra single quotes covering the $agent_home

Please help me

The following sed command should do it

sed "s|\$agent_home|'\$agent_home'|"
