Mamakos" Subject: new bootstrap - unexpected "echo" command results Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 04 Oct 1998 23:34:57 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG If you have a command such as echo Hello, world foo bar in your /boot/boot.conf file, this appears as Hello,worldfoobar rather than Hello, world foo bar as you (or maybe just me) might expect. I think this is because unargv() concatenates all the arguments in the argv arrary without adding whitespace. In the mean time, I guess I'll just enclose the works in quotes to have it appear as one paramter. Certainly this is nothing to loose sleep over. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
