<pre>When I am issuing the following command
systemd-run /bin/sh -c 'sleep 5'
it doesn't work as expected, instead it gives the following:
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg systemd[1]: Starting /bin/sh -c sleep 5...
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg systemd[1]: Started /bin/sh -c sleep 5.
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg sh[537]: sleep: missing operand
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg sh[537]: Try 'sleep --help' for more information.
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg systemd[1]: run-536.service: main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Aug 09 23:18:00 vmg systemd[1]: Unit run-536.service entered failed state.
It seems that systemd-run splits the 'sleep 5' and executes
/bin/sh -c sleep 5
instead of
/bin/sh -c 'sleep 5'
Is this the expected behavior?</pre>
