How to access variables across scripts
Hi All,

I have declared a variable in script1 and assign a value for it. In script2 i'll call script1 and then I want the value of variables set in script1.

I have tried with export, but in vain.
How can I achive this?

Below is the two scripts.

--script1
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo $1
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4

export JAVA_HOME

--script2
#!/usr/bin/ksh

./setValue.sh

echo "Java is present: ${JAVA_HOME}"

In script2 JAVA_HOME is empty, but in script1 JAVA_HOME has value.

Pls. help me in this.

Thanks in advance

airport2-config

AIRPORT2-CONFIG(1)					      General Commands Manual						AIRPORT2-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       airport2-config - Configurator for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow")

SYNOPSIS

       airport2-config

DESCRIPTION

       airport2-config allows you to manage your AirPort base station, just like the AirPort software on Mac OS X.

OPTIONS

       airport2-config	accepts  no  command-line  options. airport2-config is a wrapper script around the Airport2BaseStationConfigurator.jar jar
       file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG  environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The  full  path  to  the	Java  Virtual  Machine	to  use.  By  default,	the  wrapper  uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
