You probably just need to quote the URL to avoid shell special characters from being interpreted. In this case your & symbol is causing the text to the left to be run in the background while attempting to run superDo as a command.

 ab -n 1 -c 1 'http://localhost:2020/welTo.do?pxtId=3000007937&superDo=jack'
