[dokuwiki] [OT] how to embed command parameters into a windows share link?

Hello all.

This is a really, really off topic question, not to mention a
windows-specific one.  So feel free to delete ....


I use DokuWiki on our company's intranet.  We have a lot of UNIX
machines that we need to Telnet/SSH to, and we all use PuTTY for this
task.  The problem is that we all forget which IP address is for this
node or that node.

So, what I want to do is write a wiki article that contains a table of
nodes, their IP address and a PuTTY link.  This link would be a link
to a windows share (where putty exists), along with some command line
parameters specific to this node.  For example, something like this:

[[\\share\putty.exe -ssh 10.10.1.1|Terminal]]

This way, co-workers could simply pull up the networking page, click
the 'Terminal' link on the node they're interested in, and a telnet
window would open up.

The problem I'm having is that it appears that I can't use parameters
in the share's name.  The spaces get translated to '%20'.  These
spaces and the parameter get added to the share name as the name
itself, and not as parameters.  In other words, it's looking for the
share who's name is "\\share\putty.exe%20-ssh%2010.10.1.1".  Of
course, this share doesn't exist.

The annoying thing is that if I execute the original command
(\\share\putty.exe -ssh 10.10.1.1) from a command shell, it works just
fine, so I know I can pass parameters to a share.

Does anyone know how to write a DokuWiki link to a windows share where
that share has command line parameters?

Thanks.

JDG
