The only working approach seems to be using 'set' for SSH_OPTS and then "$@" for the proper use of the parameters, but that makes lots of places in the code pretty unhappy. Other working approach (that might be the only solution) seems to be eval'ing the expanded string. I 've gotten this tip after I've started shouting and closed the editor, so I ended up with no attemp on this at all. I'll have a look at it later, but in case somebody wants to have a look, this info might help a bit: # Eliminating the problem to the smallest part possible ... $ l="a 'b c' d" $ for i in $l; do echo $i; done a 'b c' d # ... shows the problem I've been dealing with # Using eval on this command in this case ... $ eval "$(echo "for i in $l; do echo \$i; done")" a b c d # ... makes it work properly I've also realized that assigning it to a variable makes it sad again. Hope this helps someone. It could be also fixed using arrays, but those won't be very compatible, I guess. Martin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
