The sudo command incorrectly handles quoted arguments with spaces
Issue
- The sudo command incorrectly handles quoted arguments with spaces
Sample test script
cat /home/username/test.sh
echo $1
echo $*
When using sudo to run this test script, the following output is printed
sudo -i -u username /home/username/test.sh "p1 p2"
p1
p1 p2
This is not correct, expected output is:
p1 p2
p1 p2
