Bug Description

I moved the byobu config folder from .byobu to .local/share/byobu, including the bin folder with working custom scripts, checked that custom scripts were enabled in the config file, but they just don show.

Running byobu-status custom throws this error (running byobu-status with any other filename in /usr/lib/byobu works fine):

/usr/lib/byobu/custom: 49: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Sorry, I haven't been able to make it work; I'm still getting this with 3.8:

$ byobu-status custom
/usr/lib/byobu/custom: 49: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

(my /bin/sh points to dash, which I believe is default for Hardy; but changing the sh-bang to bash in byobu-status doesn't change the error)

This is a relatively up to date Hardy install; I'm missing the latest libc upgrades, but i don't think that makes a difference. Anything else I can try?

There is a typo on /usr/lib/byobu/custom line 31 (version 3.8), it's missing closing quotes:

for i in "$DATA/bin/[0-9]*_*; do

Sadly, fixing the typo doesn't make my custom bin scripts appear on the status line. They appear with their proper values when I run byobu-status-detail

The fix on 3.10 branch works. My comment (#4) didn't really fix the typo (I misplaced the closing qoutes).

I confirm the bug fixed on Hardy and Lucid.
