Well that's not going to work. You're just printing the statements to the screen and not giving anything to sshpass at all.

I won't know the issue until it works. Nonprinting characters are nonprinting, invisible to copy-paste. If there were nonprinting characters in your array you might not see them. Did you try my...

No reason * shouldn't expand, perhaps you ended up with nonprinting characters like carriage returns in your array or some such. If the commands work when pasted, that's what I'd bet.

If your values will never contain spaces, you can "pass" arrays as strings "val1 val2 val3" and split them back inside the function, like this:

This is a rather roundabout way of sending files! sshpass executing sshpass executing scp. Isn't there a better way?

Anyway, this doesn't do what you think. Each ID only gets used once. The...

You missed the point. set and case is a replacement for XX=`echo "$QUERY_STRING" | sed -n 's/^.*val_x=\([^&]*\).*$/\1/p' | sed "s/%20/ /g"`

As for "no such file or directory", I'll hazard a wild...

It will exit by itself once done, but you probably want an 'exit 0' at the end in case any of the cp commands couldn't copy.

Cron also has a useful feature where any output from the command gets...

Self-modifying code? Obviously bad and never allowed, at all, ever.

There's no point using cut inside awk.

"Dying" is hyperbole. By that metric I'm sure awk has been dead for half a century. It still persists where its feature set is useful, as does Perl.
