If you want to see what variables are set, type: set this shows shell functions too. you can save these variables (and possibly functions) in a file: set > myvariables and restore them again: source ./myvariables or if you're lazy to type source: . ./myvariables the "./" is important, if you give source a pathname without a / in it, it looks for files using $PATH first, then if that fails it looks in the current directory. For example if you have a file called "test" and type: source test it will try to source /usr/bin/test, and say: bash: ELF: command not found This seems like ++bogus behaviour to me, but there may be some good reason for it.
