Hi, If you want to factor the --chdir argument, you can go back to your previous solution: args="--start --nicelevel $nice --chdir '$PWD' --quiet --oknodo" but then, you need to eval your calls to s-s-d (and over quoting the last arguments): eval /sbin/start-stop-daemon $args '--startas $exec --pidfile /dev/null -- "$@"'
This will works with space in PWD. However, there will still be some problems if PWD contains ' To be robust, you can use: args="--start --nicelevel $nice --chdir \"\$PWD\" --quiet --oknodo" and eval /sbin/start-stop-daemon $args '--startas $exec --pidfile /dev/null -- "$@"' Regards, Vincent -- Vincent Danjean GPG key ID 0x9D025E87 vdanj...@debian.org GPG key fingerprint: FC95 08A6 854D DB48 4B9A 8A94 0BF7 7867 9D02 5E87 Unofficial pacakges: http://www-id.imag.fr/~danjean/deb.html#package APT repo: deb http://perso.debian.org/~vdanjean/debian unstable main -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
