Invoking CGI executable after setenv (in bash)
Hello,
I have an executable cgi program that I can run manually from my Linux shell after setting environmental variables on the previous line, like this:
PHP Code:
setenv QUERY_STRING "workdir=/u/here/there/&nb1=5&nb2=1000"
MyExecutable.cgi
How can I imitate this behavior in a bash script?
I tried invoking them as two separate system commands by using backquotes `, but the second command will not remember the previous one
Also, what if the value of nb1 is in fact a $variable and not 5, would that cause problems?
(I'm 2-days old in bash!)
Thanks
