Re: Passing variables to a shell script in unix

[Ken Goolsby <kgoolsby@YAHOO.COM>]

Thanks for your help!

I developed some code to do the mailing of interface
and report files from SQR/unix based upon the FAQ from
Scribe, now I have to kick off a shell to ftp files.

By the way, is there a more reliable transfer
protocol?

Thanks again,
