start-stop-daemon and quoting in arguments

[Karsten Heymann <karsten.heymann@gmx.de>]

Hi list,

somehow I'm lost with start-stop-daemon and quoting. I'm trying to let 
a self-recompiled slapd server both ldap and ldaps. When invoked from
the command line with

  slapd -d 255 -h "ldap:/// ldaps:///"
 
the debug output shows that both options are accepted. But I don't
manage to create that line with start-stop-daemon. I've tried any
combination of quoting the '"', the blank between the two entries or
quoting nothing, none of them worked. Some examples:

start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/slapd -- -h "ldap:/// ldaps:///"
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/slapd -- -h "\"ldap:/// ldaps:///\""
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/slapd -- -h "ldap:///\ ldaps:///"
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/slapd -- -h "ldap:///\\ ldaps:///"

None of them worked. I feel really stuck. Please help me :-}

In advance,

Karsten
