exporting a variable to a script

[Robert Mark Bram <re...@optusnet.com.au>]

Hi All!

In a bash script, I might do the following:

export myVar=someValue
# .. run bash scripts which can use myVar

AFAIK there is no other way to set environment variables for bash scripts. 
If I am going to run a bash script through an Ant build file, how can I 
export the variable to the bash script?

Rob

<exec executable="bash scripts which can use myVar">
  <env key="myVar" value="someValue"/>
</exec>
