Saving User-Created Variables

Bash, C, C++, Perl, ... ?
Persistent Objects?

I don't think that there is a "config file" you can
edit to achieve automatic saving of environment
variables. The user would have to actively put
the variables he needs preserved into either
.bashrc or ./bash_profile (depends on how you
invoke bash, "man bash" for details) to have
them "preserved" between sessions.

If you want to have a bash-script get specific
variables between sessions, write & read them
to/from files.

Code:

my_exit()

{

  echo $MY_VAR_1 > ~/.my_var_1

  exit

}



my_init()

{

  export MY_VAR_1=`cat ~/.my_var_1`

}

and so forth ...

Cheers,
