trouble with passing variables from script to script
I have tried this as suggested, but it does not work for me, below is what I thought would work, but it does not even stop at the sleep 3000 part, I know it is because of the ftp part but don't know how to solve as I tried it without FTP and it works a treat


#! /usr/bin/ksh
Name=`who am i | cut -f1 -d" "`
TTY=`who am i |awk '{print $2}'`
IpAdd=`finger -l |( grep $TTY )| awk '{ print $9 }'`
HOST=$IpAdd
echo "\n\t please enter in the name of the file thats in your uploads folder ! \c"
read FileName
USER=W21?."453
PASSWD=******
DIR=/uploads
exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&
print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd c:\
print -p dir c:\uploads
print -p binary
print -p get $DIR/$FileName /u1/excel/SplitF/$FileName
print -p bye
wait
/u1/excel/SplitF/FileSplitter $FileName ##### your suggested code
exit
bye
...............................................................................

2nd script

#! /bin/sh
rm /u6/SplitFiles/*.?? > /dev/null
echo $1
sleep 30000

because I can't get the variable from the 1st to the 2nd script I have to prompt for input within the second script again

ie ....
echo " Choose from the list above the file you wish to split ... \c"
read FileName

and when I done with splitting, I then have to prompt again for the new created file's
output.aa ouput.ab etc...etc..
any help would be great!

Second_script_name $user_id


In the second script use positional parameters to determine the value associated for the first argument:

UserId=$1


I hope this helps.

setuid

setuid(2)							System Calls Manual							 setuid(2)

NAME

       setuid - Sets the user ID

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int setuid (
	       uid_t user_id );

       Application  developers	may  want  to  specify an #include statement for <sys/types.h> before the one for <unistd.h> if programs are being
       developed for multiple platforms. The additional #include statement is not required on Tru64 UNIX systems or by ISO  or	X/Open	standards,
       but may be required on other vendors' systems that conform to these standards.

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       setuid(): XSH5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS

       Specifies the new user ID.

DESCRIPTION

       The setuid() function sets the real user ID, effective user ID, and the saved set user ID to the user_id parameter.

       To  change  the	real user ID, the effective user ID, and the saved set user ID, the calling process must have superuser privilege.  If the
       process does not have appropriate privilege, but the user_id parameter is equal to the real user ID or the saved set user ID, the  setuid()
       function sets the effective user ID to the user_id parameter.  The real user ID and saved set user ID remain unchanged.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  the  setuid()  function returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, the function returns a value of -1 and sets
       errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The setuid() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions: [Tru64 UNIX]  The process is attempting an operation
       that  would  exceeds  a	system limit, such as the number of tasks or threads allowed for a user ID.  The value of the user_id parameter is
       invalid.  The process does not have superuser privileges, and the user_id parameter does not match the real user ID or the saved  set  user
       ID.
