Superfluous $2? (Score:1)

by kraai (8503)

On the line that strips the directory names from the command if it's used for the subject, is the $2 necessary?

  I think it is needed. If the input is "/foo/bar baz" then $2 is whitespace. Dropping it would make the subject "barbaz" instead of "bar baz"
  I have not tested this, but it was my intent and seems correct.
