Passing Vars between scripts
Im running a script that runs scripts within it self and i need to pass vars made in the original script to scripts run within it and the only way i can think to do it is right the string to a file and read the file in the script

In the original script, when calling another script:

var1="`hostname`"
/mydir/my-other-script $var1

Maybe i can function

$. principal_script var1 var2 var3 ......
........................
. subscript1 $var1 $var3
.......................
. subscript2 "$@" #if you like to pass all var

Bye

I the main script, export those variables you want others to see:
Code:
#this is main script
export VAR1="value_var1"
./script.sh

VAR1 will be available to ./script1.sh
(for bash)

Regards.
