zmtrainsa doesn't accept spaces in folder name

[phoenix]

As per title. If I run zmtrainsa with a folder name of 'company/fred jones' it asks for a password and never goes any further. It doesn''t accept any single or double quotes, all folder names mut be without spaces. If I run it with a folder of 'company/fredjones' it works fine. Is this a bug?

Have you tried putting a back slash in front of the space to remove any special meaning to the shell interpretor? 'this folder' becomes 'this\ folder' Same goes for single and double quotes. If preceded by the slash it then becomes a regular character.

I guess that's one of those linux 'tricks' I need to remember, unfortunately it didn't seem to work in this case.

I forgot to post earlier that I also get a message with this problem: 'zmtrainsa: Line 38: Too many arguments'.

So, if I understand you correctly I should try "company/fred\ jones" as the directory? Again, I tried that with double & single quotes and also in the format \"company/fred\ jones\" just in case the quotes caused the problem but no go, any other suggestions or have I missed something?

[agnOstos]

don't use the quotes

"company/fred\ jones" should read company/fred\ jones

[phoenix]

don't use the quotes

"company/fred\ jones" should read company/fred\ jones

Same result I'm afraid.

Hrmm, that's what I would've tried. Are you getting the too many arguments complaint when running it that way?

Yes, I am. I think I've tried every combination of spaces, quotes and fwd/backslash.

I'm pretty sure this is due to bad quoting in the script on my part - I'll take a look at it tomorrow, and post a fix.

I've attached a patch.

su - root
cd ~zimbra/bin
cp zmtrainsa zmtrainsa.BAK
patch -p0 < patchfile

Thanks for the patch, I applied it and got these messages:

patching file zmtrainsa
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n] y
Hunk #1 succeeded at 39 with fuzz 1 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 58 with fuzz 2.

That still produced the error when I ran zmtrainsa.
I copied the original file back and tried 'n' in answer to the 'Assume -R' I got this:

patching file zmtrainsa
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

Hunk #1 FAILED at 39.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 50 with fuzz 2 (offset -4 lines).
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file zmtrainsa.rej

and the .rej file contained:

         exit 1

- if [ x$FOLDER != "x" ]; then
-        FOLDER="-r $FOLDER"

- 
  if [ x`whoami` != xzimbra ]; then
      echo Error: must be run as zimbra user
         exit 1

  fi
  
  if [ x`whoami` != xzimbra ]; then
      echo Error: must be run as zimbra user
         exit 1

Sorry, I wasn't sure which one to try so I did both.
