Script manager serious bug

[pchris7489]

Hello,

There is a serious bug in script manager

1. Create a new script
2. Type in the script : echo 'hello world'
3. Or type in the script : echo "hello world\n"
4. Save the script

The bug : Smart Pack will absorb the quotes and the new line character, and the script will become either : echo hello world
Or : echo "hello world
"

Expected behavior : if you open this last saved script, you must see either : echo 'hello world'
Or : echo "hello world\n"

This bug can bring serious boot loop issues if someone saves a script to modify kernel settin-s and this bugs shows up

I'll have a look on it, though I still don't know how it bootloops (may be my because of my limited knowledge).

Well the data passed to the kernel will be invalid.

This happens only when saving a script in SP tought, it is a problem in SP, it seems that it doesn't escape special caracters before saving a script.
