Change vars in the parent process

Hi!
Is there any possibility to change vars inside a parent process from
the inside of a child process?
Thanks

Hi,

No, that's impossible. At least on unix.

Not without adopting some specific inter-process mechanism such as a
network socket. The idea is that processes are *intended* to provide
protection boundaries around separate activities.

Maybe what you need is threads, which can easily access each other's
resources. They do need careful control, though, precisely because they
share a single process's address space and protection boundary.

Previously, I had used independent JSON lists in my code, where the lists were part of separate scripts. Because this method did not support reuse of a script without modification, I decided to consolidate all my JSON lists into one and modify my scripts so that they were more generic and reusable. So far so good. The problem is that my JSON lists used variables for many pieces of code that performed multiple iterations to create several...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
