Troubleshooting
Problem
Using command-line tools with WebSphere® Application Server or WebSphere Liberty, you need to take into account special characters in use when using command-line arguments, including passwords and file directories. Special characters like dollar-signs, spaces, or percent signs have significance depending on what shell is being used.
Special characters aren't limited to passwords, but passwords can easily contain special characters. A file directory path passed as a command-line argument is another example, where quotation marks allows for paths with space characters to be read correctly.
