The problem was that although
powercom -m "Advice Partner/King PR750" -s 00131581 /dev/ttyS
worked,
`echo $DAEMON $ARGUMENTS`
did not.
[08:40:06 /tmp]# DAEMON=powercom
[08:41:59 /tmp]# ARGUMENTS='-m "Advice Partner/King PR750" -s 00131581
/dev/ttyS1'
[08:42:09 /tmp]# echo $DAEMON $ARGUMENTS
powercom -m "Advice Partner/King PR750" -s 00131581 /dev/ttyS1
[08:42:17 /tmp]# `echo $DAEMON $ARGUMENTS`
Network UPS Tools - PowerCom UPS driver 0.01 (0.44.0-pre4)
Unable to open (1) Partner/King: No such file or directory
[08:42:25 /tmp]#
After trying various combinations of single and double quotations I was
suggested to use the eval command.
Since this seems to work I am currently using it.
