I am calling one c++ exe from my unix shell script, i am trying to set the env variables using putenv() thru my c++ code. Now i want to use these varibles in my new exe which is there in the same shell script(set by using the previous exe ) , but i am not able to access those varibles..

Please help me out in this.

Yup -- you found out the hard way that it can't be done. One solution is to write the variables to a file or shared memory so that other programs can read them.
