@MichaelHomer - eval doesn't only substitute the variables but also immediately executes the command. That's not what I want - I want the expanded vars assigned to a new variable first. That's a requirement for logging and auditing... I'm sure it should be doable...?

Why does CMD_TMPL need to be declared prior to $USER_NAME and $USER_HOME?

You say you've tried eval already. Did eval "$CMD_TMPL" not work? What went wrong with it?
