The idea was to allow a list of shell-commands. In bash (and sh?) the
{ list; } construct, specify a list of shell-commands to be executed
in the current process. I was thinking along the lines:
"/bin/bash -c { cmd1; cmd2;..cmdn; }"
This will (probably) not work and the correct way to do this is to
enclose the list in single-quotes:
"/bin/bash -c '{ cmd1; cmd2;..cmdn; }'"
I do not think it will harm to let it stand, but feel free to remove it.
