I can write a shell script that will set an enviroment variable using
the export command, but then when i try and print the variable after
the shell scrit has been run the variable is no longer set. Why is
this? my problem is that i need to set some enviroment variables in a
shell script that is run when my tomcat server is started, but after
the startup script runs the variables are no longer set. Here is what
i am using in my scripts:
export CLASSPATH=/usr/root/
echo $CLASSPATH
but then when i do a echo $CLASSPATH from the command line the
original value is printed and not the one set in the shell script.
any help would be great.
