Public bug reported:
I am integrating the runtime script in my custom script so I can use some of
the utilities it provides.
My custom script is currently in a path which contains white space causing the
"log_only" function call to not work correctly because the command passed has
unescaped variables. For instance it was causing base name to complain about
extra operands, which is completely unrelated.
The line is /usr/share/runtime@795:
log_only "$(date '+%b %d %H:%M:%S') $(uname -n | sed 's|\..*$||') ldapscripts:
$(basename $0)($USER): $0 $*"
The proposed change:
log_only "$(date '+%b %d %H:%M:%S') $(uname -n | sed 's|\..*$||') ldapscripts:
$(basename '$0')($USER): '$0' '$*'"
Notice the single quotes around $0 and $*. I didn't escape $USER because
it is not supposed to have white spaces ever, but feel free to decide
that.
