Exporting a variable to the local environment isn't going to help in this case.
You can, however, take advantage of the feature where any variable assignment placed in front of the command on the command line is placed into the environment of the process that is started. For instance the small script:
Yields two different results depending on whether the variable is assigned on the comand line:
So, for your case you just need to put the variable assignment before the command that is given to rsh. Something like this should work:
No changes at all are then necessary on the remote side, and allows the value of the variable to change, if needed, with each execution of the process on the local host (host a).
