The following will set an enviroment variable caller $DUMMY DUMMY="joe" echo $DUMMY joe
In a bash script it is a little more complicated. You need to export the variable such as: DUMMY="joe" export $DUMMY - or - export DUMMY="joe" assuming you are using a bash shell. For example, for csh shell the definition would have a different syntax. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
