aterm-xterm wrapper script ignores quotes
« on: April 21, 2014, 06:26:40 AM »
/usr/local/bin/aterm-xterm  wrapper script, included in aterm.tcz and issued by the symlink  /usr/local/bin/xterm , doesn't pass quotes to aterm.

Trying to lauch Terminal Server from Control Panel results in aterm not understanding parameters, which include the TITLE option with quotes (-T ""):
Code: [Select]
xterm -bg black +tr +sb -T "Terminal Server Setup" -e sudo /usr/bin/tc-terminal-server &

Code: [Select]
aterm: bad option "Server"
aterm: bad option "Setup"

Usage v1.00.01 ...

The workaround for me currently is to have a symlink pointing to  /usr/local/bin/aterm  saved as  ~/.local/bin/xterm .

I tryed to modify the wrapper script so that quotes included in parameters would be shipped over to aterm but I failed.
Does anyone have a solution in terms of scripting rather than ignoring the wrapper script by an additional symlink?

Replace "Terminal Server Setup" with Terminal_Server_Setup.

It's hard-coded in  /usr/local/bin/cpanel  which is part of  Xprogs.tcz .

I probably should have posted this in TCE Bugs since anything that starts xterm with quoted parameters will lead to aterm to fail launching.

The "xterm" wrapper in aterm.tcz  should be changed to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/busybox sh

###########################################
# aterm xterm wrapper for Tiny Core Liux 5.x
# By bmarkus
# v1.0 - October 17, 2013

aterm +tr "$@"
