Noted for the quotation mark, thanks.  (I had also noted to homogenize 
the use of delayfeed.conf and innfeed-delayed.conf.)

However, I have a question about the shell expansion.  I have always 
used commands like
   ctlinnd flush innfeed!
without any problem (with bash and zsh).
Does it cause a problem in some shells, and do you have an example of one?

We currently do not have quotation marks in such commands in our manual 
pages.  If there is a need to add those, I can add them where needed.


P.-S.: A dash ("-") in the argument of "ctlinnd begin" does not cause a 
problem either on my shell.
