using armbian variables in a script

Recommended Posts

there must be a difference between $BOARD and $TERM or $PWD

because in a script it works for 

$TERM and $PWD

 

I tought when it is a "gobal" variabel which was exported via export=
it should work, but I also got this problem today with a script while trying to set a global environment variable :(
My variable is only useable in the script and wehen it ends it isnt global anymore :(

Havent also found the "magic searchword" today :(

I thought it will work without a file :(
Ok with a source-file my script-idea of a startrek-lightline for lcd4linux is working now with the following bash script (which is used by lcd4linux):
 

#!/bin/bash -e

lightfile="/var/lightactual.val"

if [ -f "$lightfile" ]; then
        # found - do nothing
        sleep 0
else
        echo 'lightactual=0' > $lightfile
fi

source $lightfile

# echo 'val of lightactual='$lightactual

lightline[0]='---------##---------'
lightline[1]='--------#--#--------'
lightline[2]='-------#----#-------'
lightline[3]='------#------#------'
lightline[4]='-----#--------#-----'
lightline[5]='----#----------#----'
lightline[6]='---#------------#---'
lightline[7]='--#--------------#--'
lightline[8]='-#----------------#-'
lightline[9]='#------------------#'
echo ${lightline[$lightactual]}

lightactual=$((lightactual+1))

if [ $lightactual -eq 10 ]
then
  lightactual=0
fi

echo 'lightactual='$lightactual > $lightfile
# echo  "lightactual after count-up="$lightactual
