Hi,
I did try single quotes, unfortunately that did not work either.
I modified the maven script to print out is quoted args variable,
looks like it did some sort of filename expansion with the '*'
character.
When I perform:
echo 0 0 23 * * * I get:
0 0 23 * * *, as one would expect.
I have with no luck.
The problem with escaping is that I have spaces in the arg. With spaces seems
like the correct way is to surround the arg in qoutes.
-Dcron=0 0 23 * * *
Which should work. If I add escape chars within the string those escape chars
are passed as part of the property
Using maven 2.

mvn clean install -Dcron-expression=0 0 23 * * *
However it looks like the maven script is doing something funky with
the '*' characters before actually passing them off to java. I
actually get a directory

That sounds more like your shell is interpreting the asterisks as globs.
