Hi, I'm trying to use environment variables to pilot a windows system through cygwin+ssh. Things work nicely with an interactive shell, but mess up with a non-interactive shell because my environment variables aren't set. I've set PermitUserEnvironment to yes in my sshd_config, I've set BLA=bla in .ssh/environment. Now when in my script I call 'env', I do see BLA in it. However echo $BLA doesn't echo anything. The only similar issue and suggestion I've found is this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01028.html Obviously I use the environment file, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
I wonder whether you *exported* the variables in question. BLA=bla will put the setting in your environment, but does not automatically add it to the environment of things you invoke. For that to happen, you need to say: export BLA=bla (or have 'set =a' active in bash).
