Executing stdout ???

[fawqati]

Hiya all,

Simple question - yet no simple answer im afraid !

Is there a way to execute a shell script (child) which returns one line and get the current (parent) shell to execute the stdout from the child ???

example

child.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "setenv DISPLAY xxx:03"

parent_prompt> ./child.sh
setenv DISPLAY xxx:03 #<--- parent would exe this line ????

many many thanks in advance for your feedback effort support and time in this .....

The answer to your question is right here, embedded in a wonderful document about bash that you really should read.

Hope this helps.
