This is an example how you can reset a variable with another script:

example.sh:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

myvar="First"

echo "The value of myvar before calling setvar.sh: $myvar"

. ./setvar.sh

echo "The value of myvar after calling setvar.sh: $myvar"

exit 0

setvar.sh:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

myvar="Second"

# Don't use an exit statement here!

And Hello Again

Most Simple Solution :
Bash or Sh Shell
and ". ./bash.sh"

It Correctly changes the DISPLAY ip and does NOT start a new process for the script


So far : yaay
But : ONCe Again.
If i use the Script i get
Quote:
Error: Can't open display: 10.4.xxx.xx:0.
If i do the SAME command
Quote:
export DISPLAY=`echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -d " " -f1`:0.0
by hand : it works ..

Once Again : Strange shit
