Define Variables

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I just define the variable in script and use those script in another script but the variable not recognize.

test1.sh

   #!/bin/bash
   DB="test_db"
   USR="test_user"
   PWD="test_pwd"
   HST="24.254.87.12"

test2.sh

   #!/bin/bash
   ./test1.sh
   mysql -u $USR -p $PWD -h $HST $DB

To execute here got some error

./test2.sh
mysql: option '-h' requires an argument

Any work around to make it work?

Very strange, because when i put all together in one script it work. My purpose of putting into one script just to call more of my scripts those loaded variables in test1.sh.

Thanks in advanced!
