Hi,
Does anybody know how to write setenv commands inside some script.
actually i need to set lot of environment variables, so thought of
writing into some script. but looks like it does not pick because of the
environment...
For example

For example
(username) home - cat myscript
setenv vara valuea
setenv varb valueb
/home/user/someexe
(username) home - ./myscript
now the someexe is not able to pick up the environment variables (since
the variables are set in different environment). does someone know any
alternative to this??
Thanks

What shell? C-type shells (such as tcsh) are not recommended for
scripts, and Bourne-type shells (such as bash or ksh) do not have
a setenv command.
In a Bourne-type shell, one exports variables:
var=val
export val
In bash, this may be shortened to:
export var=val
