backslashes to escape spaces
Authored by: gatorparrots on Apr 02, '03 10:46:52AM
Using quotes to escape backslashes is much more effecient (less keystrokes) for escaping spaces, not to mention being friendlier to GeekLog:

Backslashes
sudo /Applications/Norton\ Solutions/Norton\ AntiVirus.app/Contents/MacOS/Norton\ AntiVirus vs.
Quotes
sudo "/Applications/Norton Solutions/Norton AntiVirus.app/Contents/MacOS/Norton AntiVirus"
