Re^4: Unix Aliases?

I understand this now except for the use of the @my_parms variable. It doesn't appear to be used for anything. I thought it may be a way of passing extra environmental variables into this sub. I tried it and though it didn't fail there was no sign of my test variable anywhere. What IS the purpose of this variable? Cheers, Ronnie

Well in fact our "my_env" is much more complicated and also accepts parameters to change it's behaviour. If your "my_env" does not take parameters just remove it completely. Actually I will remove it from my post above to make it more straight forward. pelagic	[reply]

Thanks for the information. There is one thing I should mention in case you are unaware of this; I've tested the sub and it works fine except for certain things. In our .profile we have a variable called TWO_TASK and it's set to isw_live, getenv ignores this line and doesn't set up the appropriate environmental variable. Things like PS1 & PS2 are also ignored. This may be intentional but as I can't find any documentation for env I thought I'd let you know. ( I also stuck in a couple of rogue variables fred=flintstone & barney=rubble and they were not picked up either.) Cheers,Ronnie	[reply]

I can only understand/comment your .profile when you post it. Either here or maybe in your Ronnie's scratchpad. pelagic	[reply]
