retitle 456821 allow whitespace delimiters in incrontab files severity 456821 normal thanks
The problem is a little worse than I realized at first. Between the 2nd and 3rd fields of each line, the delimiter has to be exactly one space-- nothing else. If, for example, you put two blank spaces, then the 2nd space becomes the first character of the command to execute, so the command fails. This seems like too strong a restriction on the field delimiters. It's bound to cause some incrontabs to fail, especially if users don't choose to use incrontab(1). It would seem to be easy and useful to allow any combination of whitespace between the fields on each line. Thanks, A.S. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
