Right. So when you have single command-line arguments that could contain spaces and/or quotes, things can become very hairy very quickly. > Anyway, it doesn't matter at all, as we can't use it when we don't > want to have the requirement that *all* starter scripts have to be > written in perl. findjava is use as in JAVACMD=$(findjava ...), so the > *output* of the script is relevant and you can't preserve 'words' in > this case. Okay. Having not had a chance to look at the scripts yet, I thought the args to the java app were being passed to findjava. If findjava will only ever be given a small number of arguments whose values we already know then this is less problematic.
