Pass some variables to the script as parameters

Code:
char cmd[256]={0x0};
sprintf(cmd,"%s  %d %s","myscript.sh", intCvariable, strCvariable);

or check into popen which lets the C code write to stdin of the script.

man popen

Jim's way or Try using putenv to put the values you need in the environment.
