Question

I have a command which is run with the system command.
Could I log what is passed to the shell?

P.S. I’ve got the problems with qoutes =)

You mentioned having “the problem with the quotes”. I assume you mean double quotes? Modify Vapire’s solution to this:

command = %Q{echo "double quoted string"}  # store the command as string
puts command                               # print it before you execute it
system(command)                            # execute it in the shell
