All I know that this list is for LFS support, but I figured that I can get my question answered here better than anywhere else, so please bear with me.
I am writing a shell script for another package I downloaded (ntlm-aps). As part of the script I issue this command: export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865 like I would in a profile file (/etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile) to set an environment variable. The issue I am having is the variable does not stay resident in my env after the script is finished running. I can add the export to my ~/.bash_profile file and it works when I logon, but the variable is only good when ntlm-aps is running in memory so that is why I want it to be set when I run the script and not at logon. Any ideas? Thanks in advance James -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
