Hi All, Please go through the following scenario:
A perl script has been invoked from shell A. Within the perl script, I open a new terminal (say B) allowing the user set a particular variable to his choice. The user sets the variable in this terminal and will exit the terminal so that the perl script continues to work. Putting it graphically, A | | |------- | | | B | (New Terminal) | [User sets a variable] | | (execution of the script continues once B is over) Is there a way by which Shell A can come to know of the value of the variable set in B? I don't know anything about IPC...can it work in this scenario? Thanks in advance -- Regards Mayank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
