Sourcing variables from another script
My manager required that i keep the hostnames and username and password in a separate file when creating my sftp script.
(Don't mention passwords and sftp...I've talk to him about this several times)
I have a list of hostnames that have to be read in a loop in my main script.
I don't know how to list these in the other file which contains ALOT of other variables, so that they will be picked up and read in a loop.
How do I do this?
