Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

i have the following env variable. currently i am exporting variable in the same script file. but i need this is in a text file and the scripts need to export this variable from the text file.

can you please suggest me. is it possible.

Code:

export INFA_SHARED=${INFA_HOME}/server/infa_shared
export PMCMD=${INFA_HOME}/server/bin/pmcmd
export PMSERVERPORT=6001
export PMSERVERNAME=$HOSTNAME
export PMUSERNAME=Administrator
export PMPASSWORD=Administrator
export DOMAIN_NAME=Domain_rcirs111

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you want a sort of "config" file which is read by your script, and the directives/variables inside the "config" file are to be exported to the current context in which the script is running?

If so, then as long as you have your current shell-parseable tokens in the config file, it should be a matter of "source"ing the config file

Code:

. config_file

or

Code:

source config_file

where config_file would contain:

Code:

MYVAR=foo
BARVAR=baz

HTH

how to create config_file.

vi mode is acceptable for crating config file.

like....vi config_file

Edit it in any way you choose - vi will work, yes.

The name of the file is irrelevant - it's just to give you an idea about "." and "source".

dan.

for example

vi sorce.conf
vi config
vi config_file
vi config_files

can you please confirm me whch one is right one.

You can call the file anything you like. The filename itself is not relevant here. How you export the environment variable is, of which I have explained in my initial reply.

Hi thanks

but my main question is.

my export varible has password and username
like

export PMUSERNAME=Administrator
export PMPASSWORD=Administrator
export DOMAIN_NAME=Domain_rcirs111

this can be showing all users....but i need "Administrator" "Domain_rcirs111
" should be in some another file and it can be pass to PMUSERNAME,PMPASSWORD and DOMAIN_NAME.

i have tried like the below

cred.txt
-------------
Administrator
Administrator
Domain_rcirs111


sample.sh
-------------
export PMUSERNAME=`head -1 creditional.txt|tail -1`
export PMPASSWORD=`head -1 creditional.txt|tail -1`
export DOMAIN_NAME=`head -1 creditional.txt|tail -1`

but this is not exporting properly...
