[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.1 - characters in remote commands

[BERGMAN Andrew]

Milan,

Thanks for confirming this is a bug not a lack of functionality.

I am not sure what I am supposed to do with that link to be honest

I am gathering that somewhere there is a call made when it schedules a command and I need to change that call to be another kind of call that works in 2.1?

Thanks

Andrew

You have just discovered a bug in Spacewalk 2.1 webui. This used to work just fine in Spacewalk 2.0.

Using > or < in the remote commands is all right. Right now though your only option is to use XML-RPC API and system.scheduleScriptRun() call:
