[plug] global variables

[Ronald Warner]

i have created a script that checks other servers and depending on whether they are up, it would change the default gw. anyway, i am planning on adding this to crond. when it ran, it said:
/root/scripts/gwchk: [: =: unary operator expected
/root/scripts/gwchk: [: =: unary operator expected

in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, i have set the following GW=gateway1. in the script, i have a "if [ $GW = 'gateway1' ]; then" it seems that the variable i have set at startup does not seem to get carried "globally." anyone know how i can set a variable up for global use?

thanks.
