Systemctl service written with an space character [Solved]
So, I have this service, which was a old wireless config, which had space in its name.
I would like to know if there is a way I could write
sudo systemctl disable netcl@wlp4s0-Refugio Tridestiloucos.service
I have tried writting "Refugio Tridestiloucos" and 'Refugio Tridestiloucos'.
A real pain that my pc will take 1-2 minutes ate start because of this old config. And, I'm unable to fix it

Tab completion. Or just manually delete the file/symlink.

Quoting will work, but you need to quote the whole argument, not just a segment of it as you have described. You can also just use a backslash to escape the space which I tend to prefer:
systemctl disable netcl@wlp4s0-Refugio\ Tridestiloucos.service
# or
systemctl disable "netcl@wlp4s0-Refugio Tridestiloucos.service"Last edited by Trilby (2020-04-30 19:00:26)
