You probably forgot to quote the URL in your shell command.  If you don't
quote it, the & is special to the shell and will cause the command to
be split at that point, with the first half being run as a background
command, and the second half being run as a foreground command.

That should work.  An example of the failure would be helpful.

Generally speaking, though, just wrap the whole URL in single quotes
and you should be fine.
