getting variable from script
Hi there
I'm absolutly new in this and i'm very confused allready. I need to run a script from .profile , wich has no problem and when i return to .profile (this script runs from the middle of the .profile), i need to get a variable set on the scipt file. I have puted this line in the end of the script : export LOGT and this is the value i need to get when returning to .profile. How can i do this? |

Your script is a seperate process launched by your .profile. When it exits, its environment goes away, including the exported variable. A child process cannot change the environment of its parent.
Try this... instead of script do this . script A dot script runs in the same process. |
