Full Discussion: Caller Script should produce and email from 4 different script within it

In sh and bash there's no way to pass parameters from child to parent, neither from subshells to master shell.
The turnaround i use is to write parameters in an appropriate form to a file. The form can be just values of the variables or strings like "var_A=value" which can be treated after reading by 'eval'.
If you don't write to disk, maybe you have a /dev/shm directory which is a world-writeable "ramdisk" which can be useful to store temporary files or parameters.
The problem you can encounter is when two ore more scripts try to write simultaneously to the file, if there's only one.

NAME

       script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications

DESCRIPTION

       script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
       addresses specified in the MAILTO property.

PROPERTIES

       This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
       script configuration.

       MAILTO

	   List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
	     property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"

EXAMPLE

       In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server.  The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
       the email system unchanged.  The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
       notification.
	define script-tool pre-email {
	  comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
	  plugin  "script-email"
	  execute-on pre-dle-backup
	  execute-where server
	  property "mailto" "amanda"
	}

	define dumptype user-tar-email {
	  user-tar
	  script "pre-email"
	}
