Not following here? Note that unit names cannot contain unescaped strings. THis is because they are stored in the file system. Hence you either have to escape strings manually before including them in unit names, or you let "systemctl" do this for you automatically, because it detects that you passed an incompletely escaped string on the command line. But the latter really just is synctactic sugar to make things easy to use for admins. So, on the lower-level the string is always escaped, and then we provide %i and %I to refer to it from the unit file, one leaves it escaped as it is, the other one removes the escaping. But what should %Y do then? Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
