Need Ino on EXPORT variables
Hi all,
We have a linux machine in which we login as root and EXPORT certain variables.
If I login to the server in my machine and do a EXPORT and then when I give "printenv" It displays the value exported.
If I login in another window and If I check for the variable it displays as "variable not exported".
Many people will be logging into the server using root and EXPORT variables.
Is there some way I can see all the exported variables(in the server)
Thanks

Variables are exported into a shell, so it's a shell dependent thing. The files that are sourced into the current shell depends usually on the way you open it.
For bash, login shells use ~/.bash_profile, while non-login ones use ~/.bashrc. There are many more rc files involved, check the bash man page for the complete list.
For that same reason, you can only list the vars on the current shell, since the environment is local to the shell.
