This is a problem with your shell, not with lynx. The & character is special. If a command is terminated by the control operator ‘&’, the shell executes the command asynchronously in a subshell. This is known as executing the command in the background. The shell does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is 0 (true). When job control is not active (see Job Control), the standard input for asynchronous commands, in the absence of any explicit redirections, is redirected from /dev/null. Wrap the URI with quote marks. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
