pass arguments between shell scripts but retain quotes
Use "$@" instead of $* to preserve the quotes:
./script2.sh "$@"More info:

$*
All of the positional parameters, seen as a single wordNote: "$*" must be quoted.
$@
Same as $*, but each parameter is a quoted string, that is, the parameters are passed on intact, without interpretation or expansion. This means, among other things, that each parameter in the argument list is seen as a separate word.Note: Of course, "$@" should be quoted.
