Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8.12
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/start-stop-daemon
When specifying arguments with whitespace in /etc/default/foo,
start-stop-daemon will break these when passing them to the daemon:
/etc/default/foo
ARGS="-c 'bar quux'"
/etc/init.d/foo
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS
The daemon will then parse it's options as:
op=/c/
optarg=/'bar /
(slashes added to mark begining and end of text)
The only workaround I found so far is:
/etc/default/foo
ARGS="-a -b"
C="bar quux"
/etc/init.d/foo
[ -n "$C" ] && ARGS="$ARGS -c"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS "$C"
Regards
Stefan
