getting shell variables in parent-shell which were defined in a sub-shell
Hello, I have following problem: I need to define a bunch of shell variables in a shell script, so I decided to put all the set commands in a seperated shell script file which I wanted to execute in my main shell script. Unfortunately all shell variables which were defined during execution in the sub-shell are unknown to the parent-shell. My question is if there is any way to do things this way. (perhaps using another shell-flavour?) Thanks in advance -------------------------------------- main shell script (executed in parent-shell): #!/bin/tcsh .... definemyvariables.sh .... shell ...

It may have been 30 years ago if you had a wack of money lying around. But if you saw my last couple of announcements for the RAT and RD (Random DUMP Hex Viewer) and you need a compelling reason to bother with them, I don't think these will do that for you. Not a chance! Note: Nor is it necessary to send me a dollar, and if I keep this-up I'll need to send you a dollar to stay off your blocked sender's list so I'll keep this shorter than usual. I have been reformatting the Aztec C DOS 3.3 Shell Documentation (and the rest of Rubywand's Aztec C65 Mini-Manual) in the course of my retro-development project that I call Aztec33.

ModelSim uses Tcl as its scripting language so (almost) anything you can do from Tcl can be done in ModelSim. Tcl has a variety of shell and file interaction commands available. Of course, if you want to execute Unix commands, you need to be running on a Unix (or Cygwin) system. Note that Tcl commands are NOT direct...

Which shell?
I am trying to create a build environment (again). This time I think I am close achieving my goal. I have found that the shell program seems to make a significant difference. For example, there are shell programs where the TYPE and/or TEST commands are broken. Is there a "best" or recommended shell program to use when building software? (BASH, ASH, etc) Is there a "best" or recommended version of this shell program to use? Since file dates and times are seemingly meaningless (programs with differing dates/times claiming to be the same version), is there a consisten...

Convert Bash shell script to Korn shell script
The following bash script works fine to delete all files that are older than $1 minutes. To execute this script, bash cleanup +10 find /mypath -type f -cmin $1 -exec rm -f {} \; Unfortunately, now I just realize I need to make it work in Korn Shell. Even I change the header from #!/bin/bash to #!/usr/bin/ksh, and execute the script by ksh cleanup +10, it still have different errors: cleanup[9]: -cmin: not found. cleanup[10]: -type: not found. Looks like it doesn't work anymore. I think I need to re-write the Korn Shell script that do the task. I tried to search for equivalent Korn shell commands but unsuccessful. Please help. thanks!!

prowrap and very custom shells that aren't shells?
I'm making a windows service executable running tclhttpd in a very custom way and was wondering if anyone has "walked the path" using prowrap (1.4.1) with custom applications that aren't shells. IOW, no call Tcl_Main is done? I know when wrapped, commands such as source, glob, and file are either renamed or in some way manipulated to work with the internal zip file system. I can't use starkits as I need this to work with 3 year old code that's still being maintained. New model in place of Tcl_Main would be: Tcl_FindExecutable Tcl_CreateInterp Tcl_Init __try { while (!done) TclDoOneEvent } __except (...) { /*special stuff*/ } Tcl_DeleteInterp Tcl_Finalize I need the special unwind semantics and the ability to redirect the STD channels in a low-level manner that will require some core hacks to support it regarding how worker threads are initialized through TclpGetStdChannels().

In tclsh/tcl, when I debug a few lines of scripts, I find it is very unconvenient withou this kind of short key. so my question is straigthforward, Is this a bug or feature?
