All,
I have program and init I want to "source" a .ksh file to set some
environment variables and then use those variables in my program.
Is this possible? I vaguely remember something about the system env and the
interpreters env being separate after the interpreter starts up.
For instance if I have a .ksh file called envSet.ksh:
#!/bin/ksh
unset OPSBIN
export OPSBIN=/u/ops/bin
---end --
Then
>>> os.system(". envSet.ksh")
0
>>> os.getenv("OPSBIN")
>>>
What is the 0. I know that I can set the env using Python but all of the
correct env are in the .ksh files maintained by others. I would hate to
have to take the .ksh and tread each line and if it is an export turn that
into a python os.environ statement.
Any ideas.
Thanks
John
