Try this:

!/bin/bash

USERPASS='admin:admin'

 create a transaction and return the transaction ID
transid=`curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://localhost/mgmt/tm/transaction -d '{}' |awk -F"," '{ print $1 }' |awk -F":" '{ print $2 }'`

 modify the iRule
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: $transid" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/rule/~Common~test1-rule -d@irule.txt

 modify persistence
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: $transid" -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PATCH -d '{"persist":[{"name":"cookie"}]}' https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/webserver-vip

 commit the transaction
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://localhost/mgmt/tm/transaction/$transid -d '{ "state":"VALIDATING" }'

where irule.txt is your iRule payload.
