Um, requiring double quoting violates POLA. This isn't user friendly at all. I imagine the administrator's workflow will be something along the lines of: - send graceful shutdown - have a coffee while it propagates - shutdown the sessions with a message - do the things - bring the sessions back up - remove graceful shutdown Personally i would do all of these commands from the unix shell, and not from within a birdc session. It shouldn't be that hard to only require one set of quotes in both the unix shell and the birdc shell. -- Take it easy, we're in a hurry.
