Re^2: set environment for parent process

I may be missing the point of your reply (don't know why I made that a may?!) but the shell scripts I'm converting call these 2 scripts then run more code but all of this is in just 1 script. As such this environment doesn't exist until generated by the script at run time. It's not CRON related but job specific. Am I still not so much missing the boat as drowning? Be gentle.......

You said: The problem is that the shell script runs 2 scripts to set up the required environment. tilly's snippet does just that - it runs some script and extracts the environment that script sets up. This approach is the only approach under unixish shells by which you can get at whatever environment a script sets up when being sourced. Even though your script is not being run by `cron`, I think your problem is the same and is solved by tilly's approach.	[reply] [d/l]

You'd have to read the referenced node and attempt to understand it to get the point of course...	[reply]

What's humorous to me is that Ronnie actually participated in that thread back in 2004... --chargrill `$,=42;for(34,0,-3,9,-11,11,-17,7,-5){$.=pack'c'=>$,+=$_}for(reverse s +plit//=>$ ){$%++?$ %%2?push@C,$_,$":push@c,$_,$":(push@C,$_,$")&&push@c,$"}$C[$# +C]=$/;($#C >$#c)?($ c=\@C)&&($ C=\@c):($ c=\@c)&&($C=\@C);$%=$\|;for(@$c){print$_^ +$$C[$%++]}` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
