QUESTION: Is there a way to change a user's environment variable setting from within UniData so that we could set the printer that the user wishes to use for that session?
BACKGROUND: We're using UniData 6.0.11 with Datatel's Colleague on UNIX, primary shell is ksh. As the system starts we used to allow a menu prior to loading Unidata that allowed users to change their $PRINTER. ISSUE: We'd like to do this from within UniData. It appears that the shell escape (!) filters out the source (.) of a UNIX script. This, :!. /path/to/script PRINTER Fails to send in the PRINTER as an argument but it is essentially what I'd like to do. The PRINTER is just the string "PRINTER" that was/is expected to allow the script to decide on the action in a case statement. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Shell-Escape-t1363450.html#a3654192 Sent from the U2 - Users forum at Nabble.com. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
