The best way is probably to have a set of aliases in your bashrc that
run it and set the variables. Scripts and functions cannpt modify the
calling environment.
I'm regularly connecting and disconnecting to a VPN using vpnc. The
network I connect to has a transparent proxy which I want to set
$http_proxy to.
I thought I could do something like
export http_proxy="proxy.whatever.com"
in the /etc/rc.d/vpnc file, in the start and stop functions as
necessary
