I cant imagen why a program would need so many chars to start it,
however in a bask script a line can be split as follows.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/local/src/program-0.0.2/source/executable ]; then
/usr/local/src/program-0.0.2/source/executable -p11 -a1 \
-b2 -c3 -d4 -e123
fi
Its the "\" that splits the line but lets the script read on.
