Re: POSIX replacement for bash's “export -n” ?

Any idea ? Have a nice day, There really doesn't seem to be a way. I can only suggest: * bolt those comands up into an unexport function (not pretty; make your BAR local and you don't need to subsequently unset it) * perhaps you can run the commands needing the exported variable in a subshell?

For reference, this seems to work:
unexport() {
local unexport_var=`eval echo \\$$1\\\`
unset $1
eval $1='$unexport_var'
}
Like I said, not the prettiest thing.
