pmcd.options

[Martins Innus <minnus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   I'm having some trouble with the pmcd.options file and trying to use 
arguments that contain spaces.  This is not my exact use but can be 
distilled down to something like this:
in pmcd.options:

######
-l "/tmp/test/space dir/log"
######

PMCD fails to start with a usage message:

######

######  

I added some extra debugging and each of the starred lines above are 
elements of argv.  Its probably something simple but I can't find a 
quoting method that works.
Starting pmcd manually on the command line works perfectly fine with a 
quoted string for an option.
I'm guessing its the use of 'eval' in /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmcd and it is 
strictly splitting on spaces.
Any thoughts if this can be made to work?

Thanks
