Jeremy's idea to put the command in a shell script and call that is
probably the most foolproof solution, but I was thinking that it might
work if you used "\ " instead of just spaces. It would certainly be
easier to sed through when changes are needed. And it would allow you
to change options more easily on a user by user basis, instead of
writing a script for each different set of options.
