Bash is taking the string in the double quotes as a single command;
this is well documented. If either the command or parameters have
spaces, you will have to use eval. Check the bash man page for
details.
This will also usually work
X=$( "command and such" )
due to the execute block.
I am replying to the list to share the valid (tested) alternative.
Thanks a lot!
Bash still considers a quoted command as such, for example:
ale@pcale:~/tmp$ X=$("echo foo")
bash: echo foo: command not found
Best
Ale
X=$( eval "echo foo" )
echo "$X"
foo
