I had a similar problem. When executing my shp2pgsql command within a bash
shell script it failed and provided me with the valid options.
Adrian Klaver, with a couple of emails back and forth, identified my error.
I had not been using single and double quotes to assign my 'command' to a
variable and then tried 'executing' the contents of the variable. This was
done for my beginner level progress monitoring and logging.
Adrian noticed a tick (`) or back quote is needed instead of the single or
double quote.
My scripts are now singing along nicely. Thank you Adrian.
