No, that won't prevent the need to quote a URL containing & characters. Those are special to the shell and will cause the command to be split at that point, becoming two separate commands, one of which will be executed in the background. wooledg:~$ echo a&b [1] 9208 a bash: b: command not found [1]+ Done echo a wooledg:~$
