int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
        int i=0;
        while (i < argc) { printf("argv[%d]=%s\n",i,argv[i]); i++; }

        return 0;
}

script...

Code:
#!/bin/sh

./a.out java "-XX:OnError=\"gdb - %p\"" HelloWorld

output

Code:
argv[0]=./a.out
argv[1]=java
argv[2]=-XX:OnError="gdb - %p"
argv[3]=HelloWorld

similarly...

Code:
#!/bin/sh -x

./a.out java -XX:OnError=\"gdb\ -\ %p\" HelloWorld
