[Bash] passing variables to executable doesn't work
Bash version 4.4.20 / Ubuntu 16.0.4


Hello,
I tried to write a script that gathers some data and passes them to an executable.
The executed application answers with an error. The echo output in the script returns correct values.
If I copy/paste the last echo command, it get's executed correctly.

You can't reproduce the error, maybe you can improve the code that it should work then.


Code:
 
#!/bin/bash

#creates an array with name gettx
declare -a gettx

#enter your public address from: StealthCoind getaddressesbyaccount ""
pubaddress=mzYfB7ZEurhm8UosBc1a5t4QtRCHjtVw4Z

#enter your pubkey from: StealthCoind getqposinfo
pubkey=0364d6d9039b74c69e2a7dabd81ff27c5cab0b7d54cda0f7419b94e02ff91f9

#Does a transaction and stores the transaction id into the txid variable
txid=$(StealthCoind sendtoaddress $pubaddress 0.01)

#Fill the gettx array with the needed vout number
gettx=($(awk -F: '{split($2,a,","); print a[1]}' <<<"$(StealthCoind gettransaction $txid | sed -n /0.01000000/,/}/p)"))

#Show content of txid for debugging
echo "TXID: $txid"

#show vout number for debugging
echo "vout n: ${gettx[1]}"

#show the build command chain for debugging
echo "StealthCoind claimqposbalance $txid ${gettx[1]} 10"

#execute the command to claim
StealthCoind claimqposbalance $txid ${gettx[1]} 10

asadmin-set(1AS)						   User Commands						  asadmin-set(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-set, set - sets the values of attributes

SYNOPSIS

       set--user  admin_user[--password  admin_password][--host  localhost]  [--port  4848][--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename] [--terse=false]
       [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] attributename=value [attribute_name=value]*

       Sets the values of one or more configurable attribute. This command is supported in remote mode only. On Solaris, quotes  are  needed  when
       executing commands with * as the option value or operand.

OPTIONS

       --user		       authorized domain application server administrative username.

       --password	       password to administer the domain application server.

       --host		       machine name where the domain application server is running.

       --port		       port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

       --interactive	       if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

OPERANDS

       attributename=value     identifies the attribute name and its value. See the Application Server Reference for a listing	of  the  available
			       attribute names.

       Example 1: Using set

       asadmin> set --user admin --password adminadmin --host localhost
       --port 4848 server.transaction-service.automatic-recovery=true
