General :: Variables Between Shell Scripts?
May 20, 2010
Ive created some custom shell scripts to run during the kernels boot process (they are called from the init script).I was wondering if there's any way to assign a variable that can be accessed between different scripts.For example my first script checks which type of pc i am installing on and assigns the hard drive location to a variable.HARDDRIVE = "/dev/sda1"at the end of the script it calls another script. In this script I cant reference HARDDRIVE as it is blank, to get around this I need to repeat the same code for assigning it.Its more of a space/aesthetics issue but I figured someone might know the solution off the top of their head

I'm running into a problem when I try to set a variable to an awk output in c-shell. Right now my command is Code: set STR_MSG_TYPE = `awk -F{ '/msg_type/ {print $2}' <filename> | tr -d }'/''*' ` I then run echo to see what the output is and it returns blank, however, when I run the same awk command from the command line, I get an actual output of "MT-715". Am I setting my variable incorrectly? I do something similar using the date command to set a STR_DATE variable earlier in the code and it works fine and I use the same syntax.

I've got a CGI that I'm trying to debug. Apache gives me an ambiguous 500 error; it would be nice to see the raw output via the shell. I've got the POST request w/headers as follows. What's the best way to troubleshoot this?

I'm aware that one can export make variables to other makefiles; however, how does one export them to the environment of $(shell)? Take the example below:
Code:
export TEST
VARIABLE=$(shell echo $$TEST)
.PHONY: all
all:
#$(VARIABLE)
In this example, I might call make TEST=test. The goal is for $TEST to be available to the environment of the shell escape. This is because I need its value in a script which is called. For example:
Code:
VARIABLE=$(shell i-need-TEST.sh)My current solution is the following:VARIABLE=$(shell export TEST="$(TEST)"; i-need-TEST.sh) but this only works if I know all if the variables needed at that point (as opposed to being able to export variables in included makefiles.) Is there an easy solution?

I have an RHEL 5 server joined to a windows domain. However I wanted to add variable lines to be executed each time a user logs in. However I succeeded to put them in /etc/bashrc file and it worked like a charm.
But its annoying that everytime the user logs in to the shell remotely it displays the whole variables that were declared. Is there a way how to add them once and not to display the output each time the user logs in?

I'm trying to write a simple shell script, its purpose is not important. The script needs to make use of the system $HOSTNAME environment variable. I had a look at this page which provides the following example.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "You are user $UID on $HOSTNAME"
echo "Your home directory is: $HOME"
echo "$HOSTNAME is running $OSTYPE"
[Code]...

I am trying to modify a script for research purposes and am having difficulty here as I have little prior experience with C-shell scripting.
The script looks as follows (it includes tcl commands like runFEP that you can ignore)
#!/bin/bash
for ((old=1, new=2; old<=4; old++,new++))
a1=${old}%50
a2=${new}%50
do
cat > input${new}.conf <<EOF
${a1}
code....
My question: I keep getting a syntax error when defining my two variables a1 and a2. I essentially need these variables to be
a1 = value of variable old divided by 50
a2 = value of variable new divided by 50

mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***
Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.

I have installed RDGEN which comes with VPFIT package. When I run the program it says:
"Failed to find help file"
But I ran the program from its main directory where all the files including help files exist. I think maybe the problem is because of this that THEY say:
"Some environment variables should be set before starting RDGEN".
But I do not know what does this mean and how to do that.
These are the variables:
-ATOMDIR
-RD PRSETUP
-RD PRSETUP
-RDSTART
-VPFSETUP
-VPFPLOTS
Would it be possible for you to tell me what does Setting Variable means in this case?

Is there a command that can list the variables that I am using in a script? I mean the variables that I created in the script not the environment or local variables. For example if I have a script that has the following var's like : name=Alex, age=20, postal_code=12345, how can I list them all @ once WITHOUT using echo $name, $age and so on. Imagine I have a lot of variables and i can't echo them all.

In the following lines I am trying to replace Puppy Linux 5.0 Released with the content of external variable Var. Following lines are in a file called news
Code:
<A title="Puppy Linux 5.0 Released" href="http://lwn.net/Articles/388754/" rel=bookmark><FONT color=#ffffff size=2><STRONG>Puppy Linux 5.0 Released
</STRONG></A><STRONG> | </STRONG>
I have tried following.
Code:
awk -v var=NewNews '/title="[^"]*/{n+=1}{if (n==1){sub(/title="[^"]*/,"title="$var",$0)};print }' news
But it is replacing Puppy Linux 5.0 Released as $var, not with the contents of var.

I am trying to rename a list of variables in my script using a second list of variables. I want the variables in the second list to replace the variables in the first list such that the first variable in List 1 is renamed after the first variable in List 2, the second variable in List 1 is renamed after the second variable in List 2, the third variable in List 1 is renamed after the third variable in List 2, and so on.
For example:
I know how to rename each file individually, but would like to run Do Loop which can rename all my output files at once.

I set a variable before entering the FTP session (vDate). Then it does not seem to resolve when I try to use it in the session as part of an mput command. $vDate resolves as an empty value. Can you point me in the right direction?
