Hi,

I am trying to use a commandline "bemcmd" tool from VERITAS "Backup Exec"
To show how bash is executing the command i set the runtime parameter -xv

$ set -xv

when i run the command in the bash shell i get the error message 
"Invalid or missing command line parameter."

$ ./bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -m"testms" -s"C:\WINNT\Temp\*.*" -mp:1 -w -r
./bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -m"testms" -s"C:\WINNT\Temp\*.*" -mp:1 -w -r
+ ./bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -mtestms '-sC:\WINNT\Temp\*.*' -mp:1 -w -r

Invalid or missing command line parameter.
Return value:-1

when i execute the dos shell "cmd" and call the same command everithing 
works fine

$ cmd
c:\Programme\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT>bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -m"testms" 
-s"C:\WINNT\Temp\*.*" -mp:1 -w -r
bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -m"testms" -s"C:\WINNT\Temp\*.*" -mp:1 -w -r

Job ID:{8FB15F0E-BD27-4DFB-8E2A-5B61127ADF1E}
Return value:1

when i try to run the command in the dos shell as it was expanded by the 
bash shell i get the same error message
$cmd
c:\Programme\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT>bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -mtestms 
'-sC:\WINNT\Temp\*.*' -mp:1 -w -r
bemcmd -o2 -jbtest -mtestms '-sC:\WINNT\Temp\*.*' -mp:1 -w -r

Invalid or missing command line parameter.
Return value:-1

is there a way to control the commandline expansion of the bash shell?

Greetings
Norbert
