I am not sure putting it in /etc/bashrc is a good idea. It might give rise to security issues as well as if some other admin changes it, everything will get affected. I would recommend you put it in each script before your commands export var=<value> and then chmod a+x that file. Of course this will not work if there are too many places you are using this. In that case, your solution might be better.
