shell variable security

[tony.chamberlain at lemko.com]

I guess I was asking in general how you can be sure your variables are safe.
Maybe it is more complicated than that? I really have just heard warnings from
everyone, so I was taking pre-emptive measures.

I tried a few things myself too and also could not get that problem.

I tried making a file called test and doing things like

 K="$1"
 echo $K


and then calling

 test "hello\";date"

a nd
 FIL="$1"
 ls $FIL

but that seemed to be OK
