Ya I am almost positive its suppose to be set like this. But! I actually found the problem...well at least theoretically.
You were right the \ does work to espace the character it just that something is going wrong somewhere else in my script where it sources something which sets something idk i'll have to look into this.
Thanks

OKay so I figured out the problem but I do not have a solution.
Basically when you do this
it works completely fine, no problems.
BUT! the next time you add a path it will interpret blank spaces as a new variable start.
so if i do
then the previous path formatting gets messed up!

I do know how we set the PATH variable-
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
I'm trying to understand why we have written :$PATH in the end above statement. What is it's meaning? (2 Replies)
I have a script like this running under OS X 10.8. The problem arises when the find command encounters a space in the path name. I need the "dir" variable as I'll be extending the script to more general use.

CFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo)

verify_krb5_conf
VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)NAME
verify_krb5_conf -- checks krb5.conf for obvious errors
SYNOPSIS
verify_krb5_conf [config-file]
DESCRIPTION
verify_krb5_conf reads the configuration file krb5.conf, or the file given on the command line, parses it, checking verifying that the syntax
is not correctly wrong.
If the file is syntactically correct, verify_krb5_conf tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.
ENVIRONMENT
KRB5_CONFIG points to the configuration file to read.
FILES
/etc/krb5.conf Kerberos 5 configuration file
DIAGNOSTICS
Possible output from verify_krb5_conf include:
<path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean
Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains weird characters. The parsing done by verify_krb5_conf is more
strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that work in real life might be reported as bad.
<path>: host not found (<hostname>)
Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be recognised as one.
<path>: unknown or wrong type
Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice versa, or just that verify_krb5_conf is confused.
<path>: unknown entry
Means that <string> is not known by verify_krb5_conf.
SEE ALSO krb5.conf(5)BUGS
Since each application can put almost anything in the config file, it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of the
default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a possi-
ble problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with some care.
It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently doesn't.
