This is a shell quoting problem. I'm currently not aware of any way to let bash do another round of 'quote' parameter grouping inside $VDRCMD, variants like \"...\" and \'...\' also don't work. The easiest way to fix this (if you don't want to use su root -c "$VDRCMD") is to use eval instead: while (true) do eval "$VDRCMD" Cheers, Udo
