Title:
  qemu in script is not parsing properly

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Bug Report: 
  >>qemu-system-x86_64 --version: QEMU emulator version 4.2.0
  >>Arch-linux version 2020.02.01
  I was following a tutorial on how to make a windows vm and i have encountered 
and issue in the settings of my script I have listed below.

  The commented code directly above the uncommented qemu instance would
  boot the Windows screen but the issue arises when I try to reach the
  same code block under the commented setting lines which takes me to
  the default SeaBIOS loader.

   
  #!/bin/bash

  vmname="windows10vm"

  if ps -ef | grep qemu-system-x86_64 | grep -q multifunction=on; then
  echo "A passthrough VM is already running." &
  exit 1

  else

  # use pulseaudio

  export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
  export QEMU_PA_SAMPLES=8192
  export QEMU_AUDIO_TIMER_PERIOD=99
  export QEMU_PA_SERVER=/run/user/1000/pulse/native

  cp /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_VARS.fd /tmp/my_vars.fd
