Greetings!
I am not completely understanding how perl parses quotes.
Here is the line I want to execute:
exec "$command $cmd_msg";
The variable $command is an executable shell script "test.sh"
The problem comes in the $cmd_msg variable.
This contains a line from my log file:
Nov 13 11:54:31 fw-3 sshd(pam_unix)[19906]: authentication failure;
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=82-148-208-172.fiber.unet.nl
The shell script blow up on the parenthesis:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
How can I quote the exec line above so what gets passed to /bin/sh is the log
file line contained in double quotes?
Thanx!
