Package: coreutils Version: 5.93-5 Severity: wishlist Hi,
please consider giving env a command line option taking a list of variables to leave untouched, so that exceptions from env -i behavior can be specified. It is pretty hard to get variables across env -i with env -i VAR1=$VAR1 VAR2=$VAR2 command as soon the variables contain spaces. An example: HTTPD_ARGS="-f $AP_CONF" ENV="env -i HTTPD_ARGS=$HTTPD_ARGS LANG=C PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" APACHE2="$ENV /usr/sbin/apache2" Am still fighting with shell quoting to have this processed correctly. ENV="env -i -e HTTPD_ARGS,LANG,PATH" would be so much easier.
