The problem is the &, which splits the command. Note how your manual
execution puts single quotes around just the URL; in the other
version, you're not doing that. (Though I'm not entirely sure why your
> junk is inside the quotes - is that an error?) Try this:

var1 = 'lynx -dump "http://' + someip +
'/cgi-bin/xxxx.log&.submit=+++Go%21+++"  > junk'
