Howdy people. I missed Bruce's comment about quotes surrounding values in sh config files like /etc/sysconfig - my question is basically whether there is any reason (other than elegance) why all values could not legitimately be quoted. Note that I'm not suggesting that this should be done for the FreeBSD point of view; I'm just working on some tools to manage these sort of files, and unconditionally quoting everything is easier 8) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
