Problem sending remote commands via SSH to remote host

[Rodrick Brown]

I've written a script to startup a remote application and I'm running
into issues when trying to run commands on the remote host. 

My script tries to execute the following 

Here is a subset of my script 

 

#!/bin/bash 

host=somehost

export APP_ARGS="-Darg1 -Darg2 -Darg3 -D${VAR1} -D${VAR2} "

${SSH_CMD} ${host} ""${APP_ARGS} -Dfoo=${host} -Dfoo=${host}
com.packahe.AppClass >/dev/null &""

 

If I use "" "" around ${APP_ARGS} my script backgrounds and works as
stated but I get the following 

./script.sh: line 46: : command not found every time yet everything
works as designed 

 

If I use a single " " around ${APP_ARGS} the script runs sequentially
and waits for each execution to finish before moving on I don't want
this behavior but I don't get the following 

Issue ./script.sh: line 46: : command not found

 

Anyone have an idea how exactly I can fix these issues? 

 

Thanks.
