Hi. I know this is sort-of off-topic, I'd appreciate it if someone would email me a list of bash-related mailinglists. But, my short bash question: on http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/abs/html/othertypesv.html I read: A script can export variables only to child processes, that is, only to commands or processes which that particular script initiates. A script invoked from the command line cannot export variables back to the command line environment. I want to change my prompt via a script, and that would require to export to the parent process, right... Is there any other way to do it?
