Hi everyone,

I am using RedHat 9, and trying to install WAS APP server.
Now I have pretty much stupid problem but it gives me hard time so far.
I have a sh script which sets environment variables for installation of
WAS. When I run this script nothings happened at all.

After some researching, I edit this script to be very simple and has only
two lines just to see if it would work but also there is no result.
Here is a my script testing.sh:

#!/bin/sh
export WAS_HOME=/opt/WebSphere

I did chmod 777, owner is a root and I execute this script as root user !

After I execute this script and run command

>env

 don't see environment variable WAS_HOME at all.
If I execute command from command line :

>export WAS_HOME=/opt/WebSphere

I get environment as I want. My conclusion: something is wrong either with
script either with shell. I am using BASH shell but I did try also with
ksh...I installed every shell RedHat has on CD's - same result!

Since I am newbie in Linux and also in shell scripting desperately need
help...
