How to set envirinment variable for the particular instance?

[estersita]

Hi everybody,

I wonder if anybody can help me.

I need to set environment variable TWO_TASK to have the value for the instance ISY01B

WHAT should be the UNIX command string that I should issue?

Thank you in advance,

Estersita

 

[fredericofonseca]

man set
man export (not sure about these two)

but definitelly and depending on the shell you are using
man sh
man ksh
man csh
man bash

Frederico, thank for the response

The thing is that I found the following command in help (I use csh)


setenv [ VAR [word]]

So I am trying to put:

setenv TWO_TASK ISY01B

...however after I use echo $TWO_TASK ....i got the following message:
undefined Variable

What I could do wrong?

Thanks,

Estersita

Have you tried set TWO_TASK=ISY01B, rather than setenv?

 

[stefanwagner]

on bash I would have to export it.

eport TWO_TASK=ISY01B

What unix system are you using? including version.

I have tryed
setenv TWO_TASK aaa
and then echo $TWO_TASK
and it worked fine.

This was on a Unixware 8 machine. with csh, both on the Unixware and Linux environment.
