Thank you, this works. An additional question; if i replace echo with node, which was my initial goal, calling a node-script. I get command not found: node despite node being inside my $PATH variable. Which I checked by echoing path from inside the script. Thoughts?

Without seeing the command you're attempting to execute and your path I can't really speculate.

node script.js succeeds, output=$(node script.js) fails. Falls perfectly in line with the question title, actually.
