Subject: Suppress optional arg to backup scripts when empty string.
X-Git-Tag: stable-12.3.5~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b5308bb4bdf3eeebd49808eb0efa015aa183772;p=thirdparty%2Fopen-vm-tools.git

Suppress optional arg to backup scripts when empty string.
Backup scripts can be called with an optional argument. Don't pass the
optional arg to the script if it's an empty string.
