When you write a line using a quote, the interpreter will automatically look for the next quote to end the string, and anything in between those two quotes is textual data. To prevent this, you'll need to use different means of writing quotes within quotes.

You could try '' or [[ ]] to achieve what you're looking to do.

Here is a solution using '':

startup.writeLine ('shell.run("virus")')

Here is a solution using [[ ]]:

startup.writeLine ([[shell.run("virus")]])

You have to escape quotes inside a string (or use single quotes, or multiline strings), otherwise it will think the string ends.

startup.writeLine("shell.run("virus")")
-- or
startup.writeLine("shell.run('virus')")
-- or
startup.writeLine([[shell.run("virus")]])
