Fw: [Bug 628734] Get Quotes at Startup Option

[David T.]

I guess this question is directed mostly to John Ralls:

If I wanted to adopt Frank's suggestion of a shell script for this, how might I do it in the Mac OS X realm that you have packaged? 

In a terminal window, I tried:
dhtmbp:~ david$ /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --add-price-quotes
Found Finance::Quote version 1.15
Abort trap

OS X also gave me an application crash.

Then I tried:
dhtmbp:~ david$ /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --add-price-quotes=/Volumes/Records/Financials/My\ Accounts
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash: line 130: [: too many arguments
Found Finance::Quote version 1.15
Abort trap

With another system crash.

Suggestions?
David
