The discussion prompts some questions on my part: 1) I always used -pid <pid> to specify a programme rather than other methods. Does this *have* to have a validation check by regex? I'd assume it doesn't need to parse an entire url because it could just tack the value I give onto the standard parts. Then tell me it can't find something if I mistyped a pid.
2) If it doesn't need to check, is there a way to tell gip not to do so? Thus dodging this problem entirely? 3) If I still need a validation regex string, what should it be and how would I make the change? I've not encountered any problem thus far, so currently am asking just for clarification.
