Hi @PVitt You might have better luck posting an entirely new question showing the one command that has the new error. It might be hard to edit the current question and repeat getting new answers or editing the existing answers if you've moved past the initial set of errors with a \ escaping the one <

Thanks for the answer. I'm also interested in the complicated way with variables, not only, but also because \< only helps to avoid the bash error. Now it is mount_smbfs: URL parsing failed, please correct the URL and try again: Invalid argument, which is the same error as when passing the password via a variable.

Well putting a "\" in front of < should make it read as a character not an operator.

@JBis Not sure I get what auto escape would be? The < character is defined as a high precedence operator in bash so it redirects the command mount -o nodev,nosuid -t smbfs //user:pass= to a file named word@host/share with some other stuff tacked on. Are you asking if there's a command to point out any and all characters that are operators in bash?
