Hi, I'm using bash 2.05a.0(2) on win2k pro and I'm running into problems that the bash script doesn't work as I expected.
My bash script is as follows, <---------------- from here the script (ora8i.sh) start #!/usr/bin/bash ORA_HOME='/c/oracle/ora817' export ORA_HOME PATH=${ORA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export PATH printenv PATH <---------------- here the script end When execute these commands step by step, PATH environment variable changes. But execute above bash script, PATH environment variable doesn't change. What's wrong ? If someone has some idea about this problem, please help me! $ printenv ORA_HOME <---------------- Before execution of script <----------- Before execution of script, ORA_HOME has nothing. $ printenv PATH /usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/j2sdk1 .4.2_02/bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem $ ora8i.sh <---------------- Execute this script /c/oracle/ora817/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/bin:/u sr/bin:/bin:/c/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/System32/Wb em $ printenv ORA_HOME <---------------- After execution of script <----------- After execution, ORA_HOME has nothing !! $ printenv PATH <---------------- After execution, PATH does't change!! /usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/j2sdk1 .4.2_02/bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem ------------------------------------ Seiji Yoneda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
