set env variables in a new xterm
Hi,
I have a script that sets some env variables.
I want to source the script in a new xterm and
after the script execution is over, the xterm has to be alive with the env variables set according to the script.
I tried
xterm -e "source ./myscript;tcsh" &

The variables are getting set during program execution.
I knew this because i used an echo in the script.
After the program execution is over, the xterm is alive,
but the env variables are lost.

Please help me.

Thank u.

tcp-env

tcp-env(1)                                                    General Commands Manual                                                   tcp-env(1)

NAME

       tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables

SYNOPSIS

       tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program [ arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  input  for  tcp-env  must be a TCP connection.  tcp-env finds out information about that connection, puts the information into several
       environment variables as described in tcp-environ(5), and runs program with the given arguments.

       Usually tcp-env is run from inetd.  It might instead be run from another server that already sets up the right  environment  variables;  if
       PROTO  is  set  to  TCP  when  tcp-env  is invoked, tcp-env assumes that all the other variables are set up properly, and it does not check
       whether the input is a TCP connection.

OPTIONS

       -r     (Default.)  Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.

       -R     Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host.

       -ttimeout
              Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after timeout seconds.  Default: 30.

SEE ALSO

       tcp-environ(5), inetd(8)

                                                                                                                                        tcp-env(1)
