I’ve got this command in a bash script:

TEST=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" -u "${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}" "${URL}/dashboard/")
echo "${TEST}" #debug

When the script runs, the output is “000”.

When I run the same curl command from the shell, the output is “200” (which is correct, since the URL is valid).

I verified that the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and URL vars are being passed to the subshell.

I’d appreciate it if you could point out what I’m doing wrong here. :)

UPDATE: This has been solved.

    Ah, I see. I guess they get different contexts or something? (Edit: I re-read your post and this does not make any sense :)) What if you chain the ssh command and the curl using &&?

      I’m not sure how to chain these 2 commands with &&, because the SSH command is being put in the background with &.

      This doesn’t work:

      SSH_CMD="ssh -N -L ${LOCAL_PORT}:127.0.0.1:${REMOTE_PORT} ${REMOTE_USER}@${REMOTE_HOST}"
$SSH_CMD & && TEST=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" -u "${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}" "${URL}/dashboard/")
SSH_PID=$!
SSH_RESULT=$?
echo $TEST

      Perhaps I don’t need it in the background - the goal was to establish the tunnel and then continue with the script without it hanging until the ssh command is canceled.
