Hi,

When setting command line arguments for a cronjob sometimes I need to used quotes to set parameter value with a space in it like;

`php /home/ploi/xxxx/console process arg1 \"arg2 with space\"`

Would be nice that  the quotes are auto escaped. it is easily forgotten that you must do that and would have saved me 2 hours of debugging before I released it was parsed the wrong way :D.
