Hi All,

I tried

Code:

`bash blue.sh`

It works. Thanks all for your suggestions.

...or something like that, depending on the shell, path and syntax.

This works too! Thanks Neo!

I'm encountering a similar problem (but with ksh not sh). Using hifake's original example substituting blue.sh with blue.ksh, I'm wanting to 'dot' in the values, and have them available to the perl process.
ie.
blue.ksh

Code:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_02
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

In perl I need to execute the above and be able to run

Code:

printf "Value of JAVA_HOME is %s\n", $ENV{JAVA_HOME};

This is similar to running
. ./blue.ksh
At a command prompt, or within a ksh script.

Any Ideas/suggestions?

Thanks...
