Yes - sorry I failed to mention that... esc'ing the $ does get by, but
I've just never ever heard of having to escape a password... does that
seem logical? shouldn't it at least be documented?
It's perfectly logical, though it is a bit strange. I've never heard
of a password with a $ in it though.
To be sure, you can just always quote the password with single quotes.
This will prevent the shell from interpreting the $ specially.
