in reply to Re^4: Splitting up quoted/escaped command line arguments
in thread Splitting up quoted/escaped command line arguments

Store the string in the database with some token that you can split on, that won't show up in the command itself. But, the "||" in your example is a shell operation, it won't work in 'exec @args'. Ignore that last part...I see it's part of the remote command passed to ssh.

Update: Isn't the command just one arg then that's passed to ssh?

    In some cases there is more than one argument, and in some cases the binary command at the beginning is not ssh. =D
