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 itself instead of being removed from the final string. That brought me to escaping the spaces too. -Dcron=0\ 0\ 23\ \*\ \*\ \* That also did not work. Performed the same way wrapping in qoutes. Lastly the strange thing is one * works just fine. -Dcron="0 0 23 *" It is the presence of more than one * that starts to cause problems.
