Hi,
how can I escape special characters in the password, doubles and single quotes does not work.

Please mind that it is purely purely a scripting problem.
With another password, the program runs fine.

example :
cv4pve-autosnap --host=X.X.X.X --username=root@pam --password=This<Is<My<Password --vmid=253 snap --label=daily --keep=2

Expected behavior

Fix the cv4pve script to accept special characters in the password variable.

Nevermind, I found on the doc how to store the password into a file.
This solved my problem.
