Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hello,
given two services named cron-foo-(bar) and cron-foo-(baz), the shell
completion provided by Shepherd does not correctly handle the (
character.
$ herd status cron-<TAB> <-- completes into...
$ herd status cron-foo-(<POINT> <-- ... this
$ herd status cron-foo-(<TAB> <-- but this does nothing
Manually fixing up the ( and trying again:
$ herd status cron-foo-\(bar<TAB> <-- completes into...
$ herd status cron-foo-(bar) <-- ... this
However the final line, while the service name is correct (from
Shepherd's point of view), is not a valid shell syntax.
I assume some other characters might cause similar problems.
Have a nice day,
Tomas
