Greetings:
Working ona shell based application that does an insert when a shell is started,
and, needs to update that record on exit.
You can't set an environment value back to the parent process, so would a fork()
make the most sense?
This currently works in a bash shell .profile implementation.
MYSQL_REC_NO=`date '+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'`
I want to do this in a c application, instead.
setenv("MYSQL_REC_NO",THE_DATE, 1); only works within the program and
MYSQL_REC_NO dies on return from main.
Anyone doing something similar?
Regards,
Van
