Yes, it is: uccfwmsu
I've also found something else that I think may be related. My Linux system
seems to be expecting shell commands to be in WindowsAnsi or in ISOLatin1,
but RB seems to be sending them in UTF-8.
If I try to send a shell command with a path that has ñ or é in it, it fails.
I have tried setting the encoding of a string first and then using that in
the command. It still fails. I can cut the path from the debugger and paste
it into the terminal and it works fine.
There seems to be no way to send a shell command using a path with a non-ascii
in it. My work around so far is to save a text file with the commands (with
proper encoding and permissions) and then call it as a script.
I'll have a bug ID for this one tomorrow.
