#28434: watch fails with spaces in file name or directory path ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: ac1115@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: watch ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- the "watch" command fails if there is a space anywhere in the file name or directory path. Putting the file name in quotation marks still fails. for example, this line will fail. {{{ watch tail ~/Library/Logs/iPhone\ Updater\ Logs\iPhoneUpdater\ 1.log }}} error is {{{ /Users/username/Library/Logs/iPhone: No such file or directory. }}} If i were to sym link the log file to the root of my home folder as a file name without spaces it'll work fine. {{{ ln -s ~/Library/Logs/iPhone\ Updater\ Logs\iPhoneUpdater\ 1.log ~/iphonelog1.log watch tail ~/iphonelog1.log }}} ...this will work fine now -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28434> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
