[ale] How to pass vars to lots of shell scripts?

[leamhall at gmail.com (leam hall)]

Hey all,

I have a master script that calls a couple hundred other scripts. Each of
the "other" scripts can also be called in their own.

What I'm thinking about is having a variable like "test" or "fix" be set,
so that if the "other" scripts run they will get a parameter without me
having to put a getopts stanza in each script.

So maybe:

. ./my_vars
if [ $TEST ]
then
...

or

if [ -f ./TEST ]
then
...

Thoughts on the best way to do this? I'm not saying my ideas are the only
way, just what comes to mind.

Leam
