    To  prevent BASH processing $xxx as a variable.

     

    But thanks for that, am going to pass it up the management chain.

Is there a specific reason you want single quotes? Double quotes are better because such commands work in both Windows and *nix/bash. Single quotes only work in *nix/bash but not in Windows.
