all work on the 2.4.22-10mdk kernel and
the semi-colon is optional.
mysql> system echo "hi there"
should be also working, the first parameters 'echo' is recognized as the
command to execute, and the folowings strings the parameters of this
command. so since 'echo hi there' is not a command it wasn't working
(try, doing `$echo\ hi\ there` at your prompt :)
Since some commands require quotes, it could be useful.
(system doesn't work with MySQL 3.23, does it ?)
4.0.18, doesnt seem to work 4 me.
