Re: Using `call-process-shell-command' in `process-lines'

Yes: the use of `args' in call-process-shell-command is strongly
discouraged in my office because it doesn't do what it says it does: it
doesn't treat each element of the list as an argument.  Instead it just
concatenates the elements of the list and then passes the resulting
single string to the shell which will split it into arguments accoring
to its own rules.

Please describe the actual problem so we can find another solution
to it.
