What's the Right Way to do the below?

The problem is that guestfish's list splitting code sucks, so
the above turns into the equivalent of this API call:
guestfs_command (g, "bash", "-c", "'for", "D",
"in",
"avahi-daemon", "avahi-dnsconfd", "haldaemon;",
"do", "/sbin/chkconfig", "$D", "off;",
"done;", "true'");
Please file a bug about this.
In the meantime you can write what you really wanted to write using a
language binding such as Perl. Or if you need to use guestfish then
write a small shell script to do the operations you need and use the
'upload' and 'chmod' commands to upload it, chmod it and run it inside
the guest.
