I don't have a suitable test environment for msktutil and would like to be sure to address your problem with the next upload. Would you be able to test quoting $AUTOUPDATE_OPTIONS like so: exec /usr/sbin/msktutil --auto-update "$AUTOUPDATE_OPTIONS" This should avoid the splitting that causing problems for msktutil, and avoids changing the exec to an eval, which leaves the invoking shell around for a bit longer. (Which is admittedly a minor nit, but the eval doesn't appear to be needed.) Thank you, tony
