Getting value of variable set in subprocess script

I am writing a shell script that executes another script by fetching it over the network and piping its contents into sh (ftp -o - $script | sh; or wget -O - |sh).

RUNLOCK(1)						      General Commands Manual							RUNLOCK(1)

NAME
runlock - prevent concurrent execution of a process SYNOPSYS
runlock [ -h ] runlock [ -d ] [ -f pathname ] [ -t timeout ] command [ args ] DESCRIPTION
runlock tries to hold an exclusive lock while it executes a command. Subsequent execution of runlock with the same lock, while that lock is held, will cause the new instance of runlock to terminate with a faliure exit code. Otherwise, the exit code of the subprocess is returned. USAGE
-d Debug mode; send log messages to standard error as well as to the system log. -f pathname Specifies the pathname of the file to use as a lock file. The default is to create a lock file in /tmp/cronutils-$USER with the name of the command, and suffix ".pid". -t timeout Specifies the duration, in seconds, for runlock to wait before giving up on trying to acquire the lock. The default is 5 seconds. -h Prints some basic help. BUGS
Sending SIGALRM to runlock before the timer has expired will cause the subprocess to be killed. SEE ALSO
