Bash script executing command with file lines as parameters

Question

This file has the parameters:

root@moodle:/usr/src# cat plugins_filtered 
--release 2019042008 mod_bigbluebuttonbn
--release 2020020500 mod_hvp
--release 2020043003 block_xp

This are the commands I would like to execute:

root@moodle:/usr/src# while read in; do echo moosh plugin-install "$in"; done < /usr/src/plugins_filtered
moosh plugin-install --release 2019042008 mod_bigbluebuttonbn
moosh plugin-install --release 2020020500 mod_hvp
moosh plugin-install --release 2020043003 block_xp

If I go one by one everything works, if I remove the ok, I get errors:

root@moodle:/usr/src# while read in; do moosh plugin-install "$in"; done < /usr/src/plugins_filtered
Option 'release' requires a value.

Did you try <plugins_filtered xargs -l1 bash -c 'moosh plugin-install "$@"' _? — Léa Gris
