Sorry folks -- Jeffrey is exactly right. That space definitely should not be there. Copy/Paste error.

There was no space in your original post, at least not one which got put there by Copy/Paste. Mail however breaks all lines at 70 characters, and where it breaks them it adds a space. The relevant line was split like this:


	sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/[SPACE]
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist


However, it also adds "delsp=yes; format=flowed" to the content- type header, which instructs mail clients that open this message to kill those superfluous newlines and spaces. Apart from Mail.app, most mail clients don't support this though (which is annoying if you post long url's on a list and all non-Mac users complain your mail client is broken; rdar://problem/4146263 is marked as a duplicate).


Anyway, Mail showed your original command without linebreaks or spaces here, and it remains that way after copy/pasting to TextEdit/ Terminal. The strange thing is that the headers in Cameron's message indicate he also uses Mail.app, so I'm not sure what went wrong on his end.

I follow the list through the RSS feed (http://rss.lists.apple.com/ xcode-users.rss), in which the article references point to the list archives. It appears, then, that the archiver inserted the space.
