Setting env variables using script
Hi,

I wrote two small scripts to set env variables in a shell.

java_env.csh

#!/bin/csh -fn
setenv JAVA_HOME '/scratch/software/jdk1.5.0_11'
setenv PATH $PATH':'$JAVA_HOME'/bin'

and run it using csh ./java_env.csh

But the env variables are not set. I tried running each line on the shell window directly and I can see the variables being set.

I also tried java_env.sh

#!/bin/sh -n
set JAVA_HOME='/scratch/software/jdk1.5.0_11'
set PATH=$PATH':'$JAVA_HOME'/bin'

This as well didn't work.

Please suggest.

thanks
Amod

freemind

FREEMIND(1)						      General Commands Manual						       FREEMIND(1)

NAME

       freemind -- A Java program for creating and viewing mindmaps.

SYNOPSIS

       freemind [no_options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the freemind command.

       This  manual  page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has docu-
       mentation as a mindmap (see Help menu in FreeMind).

       freemind is a program that allows to create and view so-called mindmaps, as well as export them to HTML or  different  image  formats.	It
       also has a plugin concept to extend its functionality.

OPTIONS

       This program does not have any option. Just start it!

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG	 If   this  environment  variable  is set, freemind gives more information on how it finds its different elements, as well as some
		 other information.

       JAVACMD	 Default value for the java virtual machine (the java command).

       JAVA_BINDIR
		 If $JAVACMD is not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $JAVA_BINDIR/java.

       JAVA_HOME If $JAVACMD and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.

       PATH	 If all $JAVA... environment variables fail, the java virtual machine command (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).

       CLASSPATH	ADD_JARS
		 The $CLASSPATH variable also lets one specify additional jars, which is good, if you want to add a new Look&Feel jar  (the  motif
		 one is so ugly...). Alternatively, the content of $ADD_JARS will be prepended to $CLASSPATH.

       FREEMIND_BASE_DIR
		 Directory where FreeMind searches for its plugins and libraries

FILES

       /etc/freemind/freemindrc        ~/.freemind/freemindrc
		 freemind  tries to read its environment variables from /etc/freemind/freemindrc and ~/.freemind/freemindrc, so that specific set-
		 tings are possible at machine and user level.

       /usr/bin/java
		 If all searches through environment variables fail, the java virtual machine is expected to be /usr/bin/java;	if  not,  freemind
		 exits with an error.
