I have an annoying problem with systemd and tomcat under CentOS. I try to set a parameter via /etc/sysconfig/tomcat: JAVA_OPTS="-DmyPATH=\"/path to my/file\"" JAVA_OPTS="-DmyPath=\"/path to my/file\"" It is read by systemd via /usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat.service: EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/tomcat But when I start, disregarding all my so far many attemts to quote the spaces in "/path to my/file" I get an error: # service tomcat status -l Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status -l tomcat.service tomcat.service - Apache Tomcat Web Application Container Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mi 2016-02-17 17:07:55 CET; 17s ago Process: 1453 ExecStop=/usr/libexec/tomcat/server stop (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 1411 ExecStart=/usr/libexec/tomcat/server start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1411 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe systemd[1]: tomcat.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: Java virtual machine used: /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: classpath used: /usr/share/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-daemon.jar Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: main class used: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: flags used: -DmyPath="/path to my/file" -XX:PermSize=2500m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+AggressiveHeap Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: options used: -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/cache/tomcat/temp -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/share/tomcat/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: arguments used: stop Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe server[1453]: Fehler: Hauptklasse to konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe systemd[1]: tomcat.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Feb 17 17:07:55 scopebe systemd[1]: Unit tomcat.service entered failed state. From the (sorry, german) error "Fehler: Hauptklasse to konnte nicht ..." I can see that systemd breaks up the string at the blanks of the path, making java think that "to" from "path to my" is the main class to run. So how can I accomplish a working path with blanks assingment?
