This cannot work. Scripts cannot export back variables to their parent |

shell, but only to their children. |

The following will work: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# export VARIABLE='test' |
| 24 |
# echo '#!/bin/bash' > test_script |
| 25 |
# echo "echo $VARIABLE" >> test_script |
| 26 |
# chmod 754 test_script |
| 27 |
# ./test_script # writes 'test' |
