With the command above you will execute "/usr/bin/curl -u username:password http://www.domain.com/script.php?arg1=a" in the background, "arg2=b" in the background, and "arg3=c" in the foreground ;) The correct command is: /usr/bin/curl -u username:password "http://www.domain.com/script.php?arg1=a&arg2=b&arg3=c" This also applies to wget, lynx and all other commandline tools you can imagine ;-) -- Dennis Freise <cat@final-frontier.ath.cx> GnuPG key: 2DE8 CCEF 6E20 11D4 3B27 21EC B0BA 1749 D2C8 38ED Available at: http://www.final-frontier.ath.cx/?key-plain
