Run another bash from bash extending variables

[pedrommone]

My scripts are like those:



#!/bin/bash

SERVER_ID=1
SERVER_NAME="Test One"




#!/bin/bash

echo "$SERVER_ID"


I want to include the second script inside the first and extend the first script variables. But I dont know how, thanks in advance!

echo $SERVER_ID

Returns:
1

What is the problem? Don't use quotes around variable names.

The variables will remain defined as long as the script continues to run.

tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ echo "Server Number " $SERVER_ID "Server Name " $SERVER_NAME
Server Number 1 Server Name Test One

I don't see any problems with


#!/bin/bash

SERVER_ID=1
SERVER_NAME="Test One"

echo "Server Number: " $SERVER_ID "Server Name: " $SERVER_NAME

exit 0

I want run the second bash and the second has to read the variables from second.

You can export the variables from one shell (script) to the other e.g.


$ cat script1
#!/bin/bash

export SERVER_ID=1
export SERVER_NAME="Test One"

./script2

exit 0
$
$ cat script2
#!/bin/bash

echo "Server Number: $SERVER_ID" "Server Name: $SERVER_NAME"

exit 0

$
$ $ ./script1
Server Number: 1 Server Name: Test One

or you can set the environment explicitly on the line that calls your 2nd script e.g.


$ cat script1
#!/bin/bash

SERVER_ID=1
SERVER_NAME="Test One"

SERVER_ID="$SERVER_ID" SERVER_NAME="$SERVER_NAME" ./script2

exit 0

$
$ ./script1
Server Number: 1 Server Name: Test One

If you're not calling script2 from script1, then you can put all the exports in the first file and source it from the second e.g.


$ cat script1
#!/bin/bash

export SERVER_ID=1
export SERVER_NAME="Test One"

$
$ cat script2
#!/bin/bash

source ./script1

echo "Server Number: $SERVER_ID" "Server Name: $SERVER_NAME"

exit 0
$
$ ./script2
Server Number: 1 Server Name: Test One
$
