Ismet, This is exactly what I wanted!
If I typed: sh setup_vista_environment, then the environmental variables are not set when I return to the command shell. But when I type source setup_vista_environment, then they ARE. Thanks! Kevin On 5/15/06, Ismet Kursunoglu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Kevin, If you just want to work from konsole or an xterm for example - i.e. while running some X window server or over ssh you could just 'source' which ever configuration file you like. That is pretty much consistent across the various shells i.e. when I am using various configurations of mutt for email (if I want it to read a particular mutt configuration file) I would do $source .muttrc_imap or in your case you could have a custom bashrc file that you would source using the built in command 'source' $ source custom_bashrc 'source' is a bash built-in, just in case you didn't know. Is that what you mean? Or do you want to execute an argument to your command-line output? Then you could use 'xargs' I hope I am not confusion the issue.
