Bug 288961 – app-mobilephone/gnokii-0.6.28.1 doesn't parse commands with parameters in --shell mode

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello

I use gnokii to backup my nokia mobile phone (6300, series40). When I enter the --shell mode (gnokii --shell), it does not understand parameters with arguments (for example --getphonebook ME 1 end), but answers with "Use '--help' for usage information." If the command is called from command line, it works as it should. Commands without arguments (eg. --monitor) work in the shell mode.

Previous version works.

My guess is it does not split the line into words, but tries to find the whole line as a command.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
gnokii --shell
>   --getphonebook ME 1 end
Actual Results:  
Use '--help' for usage information.

Expected Results:  
Dump of the phonebook.

Judging after changelog, this issue appears to be fixed in the upstream source tree.

Workaround: use version 0.6.27 or 9999 (aka the live git version).

Right, my bad I didn't look at live version right away. It works there alright.

Thanks for pointing it out.
