The source command did the trick, Alex. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
# echo "export VARIABLE='test'" >> test_script |
| 6 |
# chmod 754 test_script |
| 7 |
# ./test_script |
| 8 |
# echo $VARIABLE |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Get's changed to: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# echo "export VARIABLE='test'" >> test_script |
| 13 |
# chmod 754 test_script |
| 14 |
# source ./test_script |
| 15 |
# echo $VARIABLE |
| 16 |
|

Thanks again. |
