parsing options and shell metacharacters

Reported by Charles Scott | June 10th, 2011 @ 10:54 AM

In order to prevent shell expansion, we typically single quote them. In rundeck, single quoting does not appear to be sufficient and additional escaping of single quoting is needed:

  <command>
    <exec>MyCommand -buildstamp ${option.buildstamp} -myresource \'${option.resourcename}\'  -mytype  \'[^\.]*\'</exec>
  </command>

Perhaps this is a bug where the parser removes such quoting?

Ran into this again.....

I have the following shell invocation:

this doesn't work:

 curl -L -k -f -o /tmp/ffffff.jar 'http://xcomm-nexus.local:8080/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/content?r=snapshots&g=com.x.testapp&a=testapp&p=jar\&v=${option.version}'

where this does:

curl -L -k -f -o /tmp/ffffff.jar 'http://xcomm-nexus.local:8080/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/content?r=snapshots\&g=com.x.testapp\&a=testapp\&p=jar\&v=${option.version}'

Notice that when I single quote, it is not going to work

I still have to escape the ampersand's

where as in a normal shell, I do not have to do this.
