[asl]

Program output

We are having:

/opt/homebrew/bin/nextflow: line 177: /Library/Internet: No such file or directory
/opt/homebrew/bin/nextflow: line 177: exec: /Library/Internet: cannot execute: No such file or directory

apparently the code in launch_nextflow does not handle properly spaces. For the record, here is the contents of ${launcher[@]}:
