That was one of the things I was talking earlier. But I wanted to use
mktemp for the purpose.

For now I'm using the following solution:

    qNGINX_PATH=$(echo "$NGINX_PATH" | sed 's/"/\\"/g; s/\//\\/g')
    qNGINX_CONF_PATH=$(echo "$NGINX_CONF_PATH" | sed 's/"/\\"/g; s/\//\\/g')
    echo "hstart /elevate \"cmd /k \"\"$qNGINX_PATH\" ${NGINX_CONF_PATH:+-c
\"$qNGINX_CONF_PATH\"} -s reload\"\"" | cmd

I escape double quote symbols there, and convert slashes in paths, if user
were to specify linux style paths. Not a 100% solution. If somebody have
any suggestions I'm all ears.

Yuri
