Dear all, not a Debian specific question, but I hope to get an answer here...
I try to use inotifywait in a bash script to block until a file in a directory gets changed. Then the script should continue. That's working well unless the path I hand over to inotifywait contains spaces. I already tried to escape them like so: MYCOMMAND = "inotifywait -qqr -e create \"$MYDIR\"" where MYDIR is something like "/tmp/test dir" but although echo shows the command correctly and putting the very same command in a shell just works, as part of my script it doesn't work. (I don't want to get paths back from inotifywait.) Thanks for any pointers towards clarification and help. Best, Bernd
