I'm sorry but I don't understand this at all. If there is no argument splitting by default, how do you pass additional arguments with spaces?
You split at import time. If you want the opts variable to carry several arguments split by spaces, you add the -s and -d " " options to importas, to tell it to interpret opts as several words, if there are spaces in the contents, instead of as always one word. importas -uiSsd" " opts hostname $opts https://www.skarnet.org/software/execline/importas.html -- Laurent
