your sign-off is missing here and it doesn't seems like we have a signed
CLA from you or your company here, and to be able to take in a patch you'd
need to send one to <office at proxmox.com>. For details please check:

That would break existing configuration that use a script with whitespace in its
path name.

Can you please provide your usecase where the arguments Proxmox VE sets for the
script aren't enough? So that we've a better picture about possible options.
