[tex-live] texosquery and shell escape

[Enrico Gregorio]

As far as I can see, texosquery-jre8 should be allowed in the restricted
shell escape.

However, the following plain TeX document only works if the call is

  pdftex -shell-escape test

Here's the test.tex file:

\input texosquery
\def\TeXOSInvokerName{texosquery-jre8}
\TeXOSQuery{\result}{-o -r}
\def\parseresult#1#2{OS Name: {\tt #1}. OS Version: {\tt #2}.}
\ifx\result\empty
 Query failed!
\else
 \expandafter\parseresult\result
\fi
\bye

The relevant part in texmf.cnf (unmodified)

shell_escape_commands = \
bibtex,bibtex8,\
extractbb,\
gregorio,\
kpsewhich,\
makeindex,\
repstopdf,\
texosquery-jre8,\

For completeness, I tested a file using imakeidx and makeindex is run
in the restricted shell escape.

Ciao
