I have a HP Tru64 unix-box, running Sybase ASE 12.5.
I'd like the databasedumps to run automaticly every night.
Due to distribution of maintenancescripts on several server, I have one setenv.ini on every server, which sets all global, serverwide variables, such as servername, maintenanceuser and maintenancepassword.

The other script, be it databasedump or dbcc-check or whatever, call this setenv.ini-script to fill all neccesary variables.

Please take a look at the text below to see my problem.

setenv.ini:
$ cat setenv.ini
#************************************************* **************
#* *
#* setenv.ini *
#* *
#* set environment variables for Sybase ASE *
#* *
#************************************************* **************

SYB_SERVER=DB01 ; export SYB_SERVER
SYB_MAINT_USR=maintenanceusr ; export SYB_MAINT_USR
SYB_MAINT_PWD=maintenancepwd ; export SYB_MAINT_USR
$parentscript:
$ cat test2
###############################################
#
#
##############################################

#
# INIT
#
./setenv.ini
echo $SYB_SERVER
echo CHECK
echo $SYB_MAINT_USR
$

calling the scripts:
$ test2

CHECK

$

It seems like the parentscript doesn't inherit the values of the variables set in setenv.ini. Both script have full rwx-permissions, so that can;t be it I think.
Please advise me!
