Programming using linux command line (error213008)

I am attempting to program a DE0-Nano from the linux command line using the following command: 

quartus_pgm -c USB-Blaster -m JTAG -o p;InitialTest.sof

InitialTest.sof is someone else's sof for a DE0-Nano, they have been able to program it on windows using this command. However, when I try on my system, I get the following error: 

Error (213008): Programming option string "p" is illegal. Refer to --help for legal programming option formats.

Any ideas? The only other person on the internet who got this error message solved their problem by going through the Nios shell, but I don't have this on my system.

    oh, I figured my problem, linux does not like the semicolon. It works if I instead do: 

    quartus_pgm -c USB-Blaster -m JTAG -o "p;InitialTest.sof"
