I'm not sure why you think that there's a necessity to give the "-c"
option before the shell.  Perhaps you are mislead by the "[shell
arguments]" clause in the manpage.   That one is not to be read as
"shell, arguments" but as "arguments to the shell".

Perhaps, the word "shell" should be deleted in that clause.

You don't need to quote my .signature.  Everyone has seen it by now.
Besides, it doesn't add anything to the current thread.
