Oh dear, I completely didn't see that you were running it using "$QEMU_CMD", on the last line there.

Is there any reason why you just cant run it directly without the variable. Or run it using eval $QEMU_CMD.

because I want to echo $QEMU_CMD
Aha it works with your cmd

I don't know why it doesn't work if I use below cmd, it will get that error too

Code:
QEMU_CMD=$(qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -m 512 $QEMU_PARAMETER -hda $GUEST_IMAGE  -kernel $GUEST_KERNEL -append \"root=/dev/hda rw console=ttyS0,115200 ip=$IP_PARAMETER \" -nographic)

Yes, forget the command substitution option. I misread your initial code.
