Description Deon Ballard 2011-05-31 15:05:54 UTC 
When running any CLI script with special characters (like >, <, &, *, |) the command will fail because the shell can't handle unescaped characters.

A note should be added to the docs that any special characters need to be escaped or the command invocation will fail.

Blocking the IPA 2.1 tracker bug.

I added this in two places:

* basic usage: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/96.2/html/Enterprise_Identity_Management_Guide/basic-usage.html#running-scripts

* tools appendix: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/96.2/html/Enterprise_Identity_Management_Guide/tools-reference.html#special-chars
