Question

I have variable in my script called:

 VAR=/opt/sbin/test

and I want to append a text for example ‘text’ at the end of the line with a space and then run the line as

 /opt/sbin/test text 

Answer 1

I think the command you are looking for is:

VAR=/opt/sbin/test
VAR="$VAR text"
BLAH=$(${VAR})

The above will set $VAR to /opt/sbin/test text and then BLAH=$(${VAR}) will execute it.
