Package: wicd-daemon Severity: normal Hi,
I'm pretty certain this used to work at some point, maybe early 2009, but was then "fixed"; hence the severity. I have a script called "netconfig" that takes a parameter and sets up some local things based on that parameter. I'd like wicd to pass it a command line argument, but can't seem to do so; the entire command line is treated as the name of the script, including spaces. Neither does wicd appear to pass in any meaningful environment variables. I can think of a number of workarounds, but the best would be for wicd to just spawn a shell to evaluate the command line pertaining to the script, so that word splitting would be performed automatically. I don't think people commonly use scripts that have spaces in their names, so this would be less of a violation of the Principle of Least Surprise.
