Description Per Jessen 2012-12-10 13:57:34 UTC

I'm updating some stuff to work on opensuse 12.2 with systemd, and it looks like systemd doesn't recognize continuation lines in /etc/sysconfig/xxxx ?

For instance, I copied over the following from the previous system:

SPAMD_ARGS="--socketpath=/var/lib/bulwark/spamd \
--nouser-config \
--virtual-config-dir=/var/lib/bulwark/domains/%l/%d \
--siteconfigpath=/var/lib/bulwark/config \
--username=bulwark \
--max-children=25 \
--timeout-child=600"


When I tried to start the spamd service, it failed:

spamd[4547]: warn: Unknown option: -socketpath

SPAMD_ARGS only went as far as "--socketpath=/var/lib/bulwark/spamd \", the
rest was ignored.
