The command I run to start the service doesn't have the character problem as you see below.
Below is how our service is set up:
The command to start the service:
sudo /etc/init.d/aem6 start
The contents of the start script in /etc/init.d are:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
SCRIPT_NAME=`basename $0`
AEM_ROOT=/opt/aem/author
AEM_USER=aem
########
BIN=${AEM_ROOT}/crx-quickstart/bin
START=${BIN}/start
STOP=${BIN}/stop
STATUS="${BIN}/status"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting AEM services: "
su - ${AEM_USER} ${START}
touch /var/lock/subsys/$SCRIPT_NAME
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down AEM services: "
su - ${AEM_USER} ${STOP}
